- Gently fold one-third of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate batter to lighten it. Then, carefully fold in the remaining meringue using a spatula, turning the bowl as you go to avoid deflating the mixture.
- Fold only until no white streaks remain — overmixing will reduce the cake’s volume.
6️⃣ Bake
- Pour the batter into an ungreased tube pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
7️⃣ Cool & Serve
- Immediately invert the pan (resting it upside down on a bottle or cooling rack) to prevent the cake from collapsing as it cools.
- Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan. Run a knife gently along the edges if needed.
- Slice and serve as-is, or dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream or fresh berries for an elegant touch.
Tips for Success
- Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature for better volume when whipping.
- Use a clean, dry bowl for whipping egg whites — any grease will prevent them from forming peaks.
- For extra richness, drizzle with chocolate ganache or serve with vanilla ice cream.
- Store the cooled cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
