INGREDIENTS FOR YIELDS
  • 5 Large eggs or 6 medium eggs, separated
  • 315g (11oz) Semi-sweet chocolate

For topping (optional):

  • Powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 325F (160). Grease 7-inch (18cm) round cake pan with butter, line the bottom with parchment paper. Grease the parchment as well. Set aside.

3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.

4. Add the egg yolks, one at the time to the chocolate and stir until combined.

5. Fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, then, repeat two more times.

6. Pour the batter into prepared pan.

7. Bake for 28-30 minutes.

8. Let cool, dust with powdered sugar and serve.

Notes:

  • For extra airy cake add 1 more egg white.
  • If this cake is too bitter, you can add few tablespoons of white/brown sugar.
  • Store the cake at room temperature up to 5 days.

    if you want the nutritional value just use the nutritiinal panels on the back of your eggs (x6) and chocolate (per 100g x 3.15) add up then divide by number of serves for a value per serve.

    If I use an 8-inch spring form pan (21 cm), how much chocolate and how many eggs do I need?
