Ingredients

4 large eggs separated
3/4 cup sugar divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup flour, all-purpose
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 x chocolate frosting satiny

Directions

Grease bottom and sides of two 15 x 10 x 1-inch jellyroll pans with vegetable oil, and line with wax paper; grease and flour wax paper.

Set aside.

Beat egg yolks in a large bowl at high speed of an electric mixer until thick and lemon colored.

Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar to egg yolks, beating constantly.

Beat in vanilla.

Beat egg whites until foamy.

Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.

Fold egg whites into yolk mixture. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; gently fold flour mixture, one third at a time, into egg mixture.

Spread batter evenly into prepared pans; bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.

When cake is done, turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.

Peel off wax paper.

Stack the two layers on top of each other to allow even slicing.

Using a long serrated knife, slice layers crosswise into strips of the following widths: 3-1/2 inches, 3 inches, 2-1/2 inches, 2 inches, 1-1/2 inches, 1 inch, and 1/2 inch.

Spread one side of both of the 3-1/2-inch strips with a thin layer of Satiny Chocolate Frosting.

Top each strip with a 3-inch strip, keeping edges even on one lengthwise side.

Forming two stacks of strips, repeat spreading thin layers of frosting, and topping with successively smaller cake strips, keeping edges even, until all cake strips are used.

(Stacks will be slanted on one side, with layers running horizontal; each stack of cake strips represents half the triangle. )Turn stacks onto jellyroll pan, even edges down (layers now run vertical).

Cover cake stacks with aluminum foil, and place a weight (packages of cake or pancake mix) on the slanted side of 1 hour.

I found this to be rather bland so I used a can of stewed tomatoes Italian blend. Even with this addition it still needs some more seasoning. I will add mushrooms next time. With a little practice this could be a winner!
