Cake without eggs yolks

[Saro]

Hello everyone, I’ve got a question. I’ve been asked to make a cake without egg yolks. Does anyone have any experience with this, and perhaps a recipe? I was thinking of making a sponge cake with cream, a bit like a Molly cake. A sponge base with cream – I’d make it using only egg whites. What do you think?

I would look around online for proven recipes from pro chefs the don't use egg yolks, there are probably many of them out there. Taking some existing recipe and then guessing what to add/subtract will probably waste a lot of your time/money until you get it right. If you remove the egg yolks from an existing recipe, you will need to adjust/add/subtract other ingredients to get acceptable results.

any whitecake would work, they omit yolk in the formula.

Thank you very much for your replies, but I’m going to give it a go anyway; if it doesn’t work out, I’ll make cake pops out of it.
