No directions provided, but we found a similar recipe of Martha Stewart's with these directions:


Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter pans; line with parchment paper. Butter lining; dust with flour, tapping out excess. Set aside.
2.Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl; set aside. Stir milk (and vanilla); set aside. Put butter in the bowl of an electric mixture fitted with the paddle attachment; cream on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add sugar in a steady stream; mix until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
3.Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk mixture and beginning and ending with the flour; mix until just combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
4.In a clean mixing bowl, whisk egg whites just until stiff peaks form. Fold one-third of egg whites into batter. Gently fold in remaining whites in two batches. Divide batter among pans; smooth tops with an offset spatula. Firmly tap pans on work surface to release any air bubbles.
5.Bake until a cake tester inserted into centers comes out clean and tops are springy to the touch, about 30 minutes. Let cool in pans on wire racks 15 minutes; turn out onto racks to cool completely.
