Can I make a cake with thinly beaten egg whites?

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.
