Reduce speed to low, and add dry ingredients alternately with the milk and vanilla in three additions, starting and finishing with the dry ingredients; be careful not to overmix. Set batter aside.

Fold in remaining whites in two batches. Divide batter between prepared pans, and smooth tops with a metal spatula. Bake until a tester inserted near the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when pressed lightly in the center, about 30 minutes. Let pans cool 15 minutes on a wire rack before unmolding. Loosen the sides with a small metal spatula or paring knife, and invert onto greased wire racks. To prevent the layers from splitting, invert again so that the tops are up. Cool completely before assembling cake or wrapping airtight to freeze cake for later.
