you might

 

see what the volume is for 3 egg whites = ? of a cup

then I would adjust the 2 eggs to equal it, with more egg white

@sunshine45  That will work. Eggs vary so much anyway, that you never really know what volume you will get.

Yes.........except if you are making a white cake, it will slightly tint the batter.

@sunshine45, I'd just do it! I always add an extra egg to a box cake mix (except for angel food cake mixes).
