Fold egg yolk mixture into beaten whites until blended.
Sprinkle about one fourth of the flour at a time over the egg mixture; fold together gently until just blended after each addition.
Turn batter into 12 greased (bottoms only) 2 1/2x1 1/4 inch muffin-pan wells, filling each about two thirds full.

Cool slightly; run a spatula gently around sides of cakes; lift out and set on wire racks to cool.
Cut a thin slice from bottom of each cake and carefully hollow out the cake.
