Another great from Martha Stewart - Decorate with shaved chocolate so very delicious!! This makes one 12x16-inch sheet cake or one 9-inch round cake. Ingredients:
vegetable oil cooking spray |
2/3 cup sifted cake flour, plus more for pan |
1 pinch salt |
3 large eggs |
2 large egg yolks |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |

confectioners' sugar, for dusting if rolling cake |
Directions:
1. Coat a 12x16-inch rimmed baking sheet or a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment; coat with cooking spray. Dust with flour, tapping out excess. Stir together flour and salt into a medium bowl; set aside. Preheat oven to 450F for sheet cake or 400F for round cake, with rack in lower third.
