- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sift together the cake flour, cornstarch and salt. Fold dry mixture into egg mixture with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, just until blended.

- Bake until tops are springy to the touch, about 45 to 50 minutes.
- Remove the cakes from the pans and cool on a wire rack.
- When cool, use a long serrated knife to slice off the tops of the cakes.
- For tiramisu or other layer cakes, divide each cake into three uniform layers with a serrated knives.
