For the meringue beating:

3 huge egg whites

2/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla concentrate

Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Softly butter the sides and base of a 9-inch-by-5-inch portion skillet, and cut a bit of material paper with the goal that it can stretch out over the edges of the v. This will assist them with lifting the completed cake out of the pan.
