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!
