   Preparation Time: 0:30
   Grease bottom and sides of two 15 x 10 x 1-inch jellyroll
   pans with vegetable oil, and line with wax paper; grease
   and flour wax paper.  Set aside.
   Beat egg yolks in a large bowl at high speed of an electric
   mixer until thick and lemon colored.  Gradually add 1/4 cup
   sugar to egg yolks, beating constantly.  Beat in vanilla.
   Beat egg whites until foamy.  Gradually add remaining 1/2
   cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff
   peaks form.  Fold egg whites into yolk mixture.  Combine
   flour, baking powder, and salt;  gently fold flour mixture,
   one third at a time, into egg mixture.  Spread batter
   evenly into prepared pans; bake at 400 degrees for 5
   minutes.  When cake is done, turn out onto wire racks to
   cool completely.  Peel off wax paper.
   
   Stack the two layers on top of each other to allow even
   slicing.  Using a long serrated knife, slice layers
   crosswise into strips of the following widths:  3-1/2
   inches, 3 inches, 2-1/2 inches, 2 inches, 1-1/2 inches, 1
   inch, and 1/2 inch.
   Spread one side of both of the 3-1/2-inch strips with a
   thin layer of Satiny Chocolate Frosting.  Top each strip
   with a 3-inch strip, keeping edges even on one lengthwise
   side.  Forming two stacks of strips, repeat spreading thin
   layers of frosting, and topping with successively smaller
   cake strips, keeping edges even, until all cake strips are
   used.  (Stacks will be slanted on one side, with layers
   running horizontal; each stack of cake strips represents
   half the triangle.)Turn stacks onto jellyroll pan, even
   edges down (layers now run vertical).  Cover cake stacks
   with aluminum foil, and place a weight (packages of cake or
   pancake mix) on the slanted side of 1 hour.
