Separate the eggs and set the egg whites aside. Add the egg yolks one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating after each one.

Measure the baking powder into the flour, sift a little of the flour into the creamed mixture. Continue adding the flour and the milk alternately, while continually beating the mixture. Beat the cake batter until a few air bubbles show.

Beat the 4 egg whites with a dash of salt until stiff. Gently fold egg whites into the batter. Pour batter into prepared pan(s).

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until cake(s) test done, approximately 25 to 35 minutes.
