Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks until pale, about 2 minutes.

Beat the dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture until combined.
• In a clean bowl, using clean beaters, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar and beat until firm and glossy.

Transfer to a rack and let cool for 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle the cake with the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Run the blade of a sharp knife around the edge of the pan.
