recipe

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch cake pan with baking spray & set aside. In a sauce pot, melt the chocolate & butter over low heat. Continuously stir until the mixture is smooth.
  • Step 2
    Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks.
  • Step 3
    In a large mixing bowl, add the egg yolks, sugar & about 1 tablespoon of water. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
  • Step 4
    Stir the melted chocolate & butter into the egg mixture. Add the flour & baking powder. Fold with a spatula until the dry ingredients are just combined.
  • Step 5
    Beat the egg whites until stiff (an electric hand-mixer works best here). Add the egg whites to the batter & fold in gently with a spatula.
  • Step 6
    Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan & bake for 35 min at 350°F.
  • Step 7
    Leave the cake to cool down for 10 min before turning the cake out onto a rack. Let the cake cool completely before decorating to your liking. Enjoy!
