I noticed the recipe says 8 egg whites... Can I use 8 whole eggs? and if I do, what happens?

The cake won't be WHITE, but I don't know if it would hurt anything. icon_confused.gif

I THINK that when using only egg whites it gives it more of an angle food cake texture.. Hmm.. Bump to see if anyone else knows.. sounds good though!

I made this a couple of weeks ago, but halved the recipe. It was very good, but more dense than I expected. I think it was because of the sour cream. I think it would be great for a 3D cake pan.

About the eggs.. I know that when I make my white cake mixes and extend them, I use whole eggs. Yes they are not really super white, but it saves alot of time. I havn't noticed a taste change, the cakes just are not as fluffy.
