In the recipe for white almond sour cream cake....did anyone ever use whole eggs???

I made it before and I followed the recipe but I hate "wasting" the yolks. I try to find a use for them, but I'd rather use the whole egg.

So can I use whole eggs in the recipe instead of just the egg whites

What does anyone think?

Thanks

I was thinking to try the same and assume 2 egg whites = 1 egg. I did the recipe the way it was written, but I really wanted to use whole eggs. Hopefully someone can answer.

I have used whole eggs (1 whole egg for 2 egg whites) and it tastes just as yummy. Maybe not quite as "white".

I only use whole eggs. I have never had to have a "white" cake. I also use 4 whole eggs per recipe. At one time I used 3 eggs per recipe, but here recently I increased the eggs to 4. When I make a bundt cake with the same ingredients I use 4 eggs, so I decided to do the same thing for a layer or 9 x 13 cake.
