Instructions
To prepare cake, coat 2 (8-inch) round cake pan with cooking spray; line bottom of pans with wax paper. Coat wax paper with cooking spray; set aside.
Lightly spoon cake flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
Combine cake flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl; stir with a whisk.
Add walnut meal; make a well in center of mixture.
Combine 1/2 cup syrup, oil, and vanilla.
Add to flour mixture; beat with a mixer at medium speed until blended.
Beat salt and egg whites with a mixer at high speed until soft peaks form using clean, dry beaters. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently stir one-fourth of egg white mixture into flour mixture; gently fold in remaining egg white mixture. Spoon into prepared pans.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in pans on wire racks.
Remove from pans; peel off waxed paper. Cool completely on wire racks.
