  3. Beat the egg whites until foamy, then gradually add 5 tablespoons of sugar until rigid peaks form.
  4. In another bowl, combine egg yolks, whole eggs, and 3 tablespoons of sugar; beat until ribbon stage.
  5. Gently fold beaten egg whites into egg yolk mixture in three parts; fold in sifted flour mixture until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared jellyroll pan and bake for 8-10 minutes.
