I use a hand whip but you can use a mixer to beat the egg whites. The mixer will put more air in the cake and it will be taller than the hand whipped batter.

Use a cake pan with a center tube. Mine is square while newer ones are round.

Had a bit of a scare today when I went to round up my chickens (they were free-ranging this afternoon). I called them and put them in the run, then realized I was missing one. Finally found her wandering around in the front yard. She got through the gate somehow and couldn't figure out how to get back

Of course by the time I found her she had realized everyone else was gone and was getting frantic. I have given up on even trying to catch my hens when they are like that. So I went back to the run, and picked up my cockerel. Carried him through the gate and set him down right next to her. He took care of getting her through the open gate and into to the coop I just shut everything up behind them.
