Ingredients:

*Cake 1:*
- 2 eggs (preferably at room temperature)
- 125 g soft butter (at room temperature)
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/2 packet of baking powder
- Flour as needed (approximately 200-250 g, but may vary)
- Food coloring (optional, for a vibrant look)

*Cake 2:*
- 6 eggs (also at room temperature)
- 6 tablespoons of oil (preferably sunflower or olive oil, depending on preference)
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/2 packet of baking powder
- Flour as needed (approximately 300-350 g, but will depend on the desired consistency)

Step by Step:

Step 1: Preparing Cake 1

1. Start by separating the eggs: set the yolks aside and place the egg whites in a clean bowl.
2. In a large bowl, cream the yolks with the soft butter. Use an electric mixer to achieve a creamy and light-colored mixture, which should look almost white. This is the key to a fluffy cake.
3. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until the mixture becomes homogeneous.
4. Gradually incorporate the flour, mixing gently until you achieve a fluffy composition, but not too soft. Add the baking powder and mix again.
5. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. These are the magic ingredient that will give the cake an airy texture.
6. Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture using a spatula to avoid losing air.
7. If desired, add the food coloring and mix gently to achieve a uniformly colored mixture.
8. Pour the mixture into a greased cake pan lined with parchment paper.
9. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 2: Preparing Cake 2

1. Separate the eggs again, this time for cake 2. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
2. In another bowl, cream the yolks with the sugar until they become light in color. Add the oil and mix well.
3. Gradually incorporate the flour and baking powder, mixing gently to avoid lumps.
4. Finally, add the beaten egg whites, folding gently.
5. Grease a cake pan with oil and line it with parchment paper. Pour a little mixture into the bottom of the pan, followed by the shapes of cake cut from the first cake (already cooled).
6. Cover the shapes with the remaining mixture and bake in the preheated oven at 180°C for another 30 minutes.

Step 3: Cooling and Serving

1. After the cakes are baked, let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a rack to cool completely.
2. Once cooled, you can slice the cake and serve it alongside a cup of tea or coffee, enjoying its flavors and textures.

Practical Tips:

- Use room temperature ingredients to achieve a uniform consistency and facilitate mixing.
- You can experiment with various flavors by adding vanilla or almond extracts to the cake mixture.
- If you want to enhance the flavor, add chocolate chips or dried fruits to the mixture.
- This cake keeps well at room temperature in an airtight container for a few days, but it is best enjoyed fresh.
