Add the remaining egg mixture with the mixer on medium-high until thoroughly combined.

Notes:

This recipe was modified from the original to contain part whole wheat flour. I find the cake has a slightly grainier texture with the whole wheat flour, but it is barely noticable. The cake tastes just as great with the whole wheat flour, and is a better source of whole grains.
