    With clean beaters, beat egg whiles on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually fold into batter. Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan.
  • 4
    Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Place pan on wire rack.

    Poke holes in cake with a skewer, about 1/2-in. apart. Combine syrup ingredients; slowly pour over cake, allowing mixture to absorb into cake. Let stand for 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
