Required Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup cake flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 3 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, grated
- 12 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
- confectioners' sugar for dusting
Preparing/Cooking:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

- Sift together the flour, cocoa and 3/4 cup of the sugar.
- Set aside.
- Measure 3 tablespoons of the flour mixture and toss with the grated chocolate.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set at low speed, beat egg whites until foamy.
- Increase mixer speed to medium, stir in cream of tartar and salt, and continue to beat until egg whites form soft peaks.
- Gradually mix in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Stir in the vanilla and lemon juice.
- Gently fold the flour mixture into the beaten egg whites, then fold in the grated chocolate, stirring just until no white streaks remain.
- Gently scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
- Smooth the surface of the batter and tap the pan lightly to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake in center of the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the surface springs back when touched.
- Cool completely, and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar before serving, if desired.
