Home Cooking Recipes
Required Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons hot water
- 1 tablespoon coffee flavored liqueur
- 1 tablespoon chocolate liqueur
- 1 cup sifted cake flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 egg whites
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 cup white sugar
Preparing/Cooking:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Grease two 9 inch round cake pans.
- Dissolve the espresso powder and cocoa powder in the hot water; set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites to soft peaks.
- Gradually sprinkle in 1/4 cup sugar while continuing to whip until stiff, but not dry.
- In a separate bowl, whip egg yolks with remaining sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the espresso mixture, then sift in the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Gently stir until incorporated.
- Fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter until very well mixed, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites.
- A few streaks are okay.
- Divide the batter between the two prepared pans, and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top of the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
