## Tips

- Recipe is perfect for two 6-inch cakes, a half-sheet roll, or double the amount for two 8-inch cakes.
- Customize flavor: Substitute some flour with cocoa powder or matcha. Swap vanilla for other extracts (ube, coffee, etc)
- Don’t over mix or you’ll deflate your batter, once meringue is folded in work quickly to get the cake into the oven so the air you incorporated into the batter doesn’t escape.
- Cool upside down to prevent sinking. And refrigerate overnight before layering for cakes!
