Bolo De Cereveja (Beer Cake)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl, using the high speed of an electric mixer, beat the sugar with the butter, until smooth, about 1 minute.

Beat in the egg yolks, at medium speed, until the ingredients are fluffy and pale yellow, about 2-3 minutes.

Pour in the beer, mixing to blend. Add the flour and the baking powder and mix thoroughly, about 1 minute.

In a separate bowl, using clean beaters, beat the egg whites until stiff. Gently fold the beaten whites into the batter.

Pour into a lightly greased and floured 10 inch tube pan and bake in the preheated oven until a wooden skewer comes out clean and the cake springs back when lightly pressed with your finger, about 50 minutes.

Cool about 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
