Don’t waste it: If you’d rather not use whole eggs and be left with egg yolks, you can use Two Chicks Free Range Liquid Egg Whites, from most large supermarkets.
The cake keeps well in a tin somewhere cool for up to 1 week. The unfrosted cake will freeze, well wrapped, for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight, then decorate before serving.
If the butter/sugar/egg mixture begins to curdle, add a spoonful of flour.
