You can't make a cake with egg whites that are too thinly beaten, resulting in a fluffy cake.
It is important that the bowl is the right size and has some depth. When you whip the egg whites, they will puff up to 6-8 times their original volume, and the bowl should be large enough to accommodate the expanding meringue. But not too big or the whites will thin out. So estimate how big a bowl you'll need based on how much egg whites you'll be whipping.
The bowl also needs to have some depth so that the whisk can get to all the whites as much as possible. Use a stainless steel or glass bowl, preferably stainless steel, and keep it free of water and oil. Plastic bowls tend to retain water and oil and are not ideal containers, so avoid them.

Note:
1. When making cakes, the quality of the flour directly affects the quality of the product. Make cake flour should generally choose to use low gluten flour, because low gluten flour gluten-free, made of cake especially fluffy, volume expansion, surface flat. If a lack of low gluten flour, can be used in the gluten flour or high gluten flour with the right amount of corn starch preparation.
2, another main ingredient of the cake: is the egg, egg puff mainly depends on the egg white endosperm protein, and endosperm protein only when subjected to high-speed whisking, can a large number of wrapped air, the formation of bubbles, so that the cake's volume increases puffy, so in the whisking of egg whites, it is desirable to use high-speed whipping should not be used to whip the low-speed whisking.
3, the production of cake embryo syrup, from 1000 grams of sugar with 500 grams of water, boiling, chilled into. Eggs and sugar whisking, it is appropriate to use high-speed whipping, this is the endosperm protein characteristics required.
4, before baking the cake, the oven must be preheated, otherwise the fluffiness and elasticity of the baked cake will be affected. The cake mixing utensils must be clean, especially can not touch the oil and grease items, otherwise the cake will not hit the loose hair, affecting its quality and taste.
