These are notable more for what they are missing than for what they contain:
They usually do not include fat, such as butter or oil, and they do not
by whipping the eggs or egg whites. The air whipped into the eggs expands
during baking, causing these cakes to rise on their own without baking
powder. However, the success of this method depends on not deflating the eggs
after whipping them. To this end, dry ingredients are usually sifted over and
gently folded in, and fat is often avoided, as it would weigh down the foamy
batter. This method produces extremely light, airy cakes with a spongy texture
but generally less flavor and moisture than butter and oil cakes.
