Recipe
Grease generously and dust with flour two round 8-inch layer pans.

Scrape sides and bottom of bowl frequently.
Add egg whites and beat 2 more minutes, scraping bowl frequently.
Pour into prepared pans. Bake 25 to 30 minutes in preheated 375-degree oven. When cool, spread Browned Butter Icing between layers and over top and sides. Decorate with 1/3 to 1/2 cup toasted slivered blanched almonds, if desired.
Brown Butter Icing: Melt butter, then keep over low heat until golden brown. Remove from heat.
Blend in confectioner's sugar, cream and vanilla. Stir in hot water. Stir vigorously until cool and of a consistency to spread.
If it gets too thick to spread, warm slightly over hot water.
