Ingredients
- ½ c. unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 2½ c. Milk, warmed
- 1 c. flour
- ½ c. cocoa powder
- 4 eggs, separated
- ⅛ tsp. white vinegar
- 1½ c. granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. espresso powder
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- strawberries, for serving
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Grease a 8"x8" baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with vinegar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a third bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow in color (it will still be grainy). Beat in the melted butter, espresso powder and vanilla extract until evenly incorporated. Mix the flour mixture into the batter until evenly incorporated. Add the milk and beat low speed. Gradually and gently fold in the egg whites. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the cake is slightly jiggly.
