Whipping the egg whites with some of the sugar (meringue), mixing the rest of the ingredients together separately, then folding the two mixtures together.

i'll give you a tip for scratch baking that can make a fluffier cake, beat each egg very,very well separately and in a separate glass bowl (a metal bowl won't work as the egg reacts with the metal), add it into the batter separately and mix, one at a time. Even if the batter is in a metal bowl this will still help alot. I recently saw a stand mixer with a glass bowl somewhere and I thought that would be perfect for cakes.

You may have even better luck using a plastic bowl. If the effect you are going for is to incorporate some air into the eggs, then glass is the worst to use. The glass is slick and the proteins can't stick to the side and get pulled (whipping is pulling, stretching, and tangling the proteins to trap air) the way they need to be. Personally, I use metal.
