Combine all dry ingredients. In a large bowl beat the 3 egg whites until stiff. In a separate bowl, combine milk and vinegar, then add the rest of the wet ingredients, including the whole egg and the 3 egg yolks, and beat. Mix wet and dry ingredients together, then fold in beaten egg whites. Pour into two well-greased or baking paper lined cake tins about 20-23 cm. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 180°C. Cool on a wire rack. To serve, pile whipped cream on one cake , place the other cake on top and ice - try chocolate frosting.
