This is another egg white cake. It is so delicious, you can never guess its ingredients. I have added a lot of coffee and chocolate powder in the cake, so the taste is really strong.
It is a cake that I will bake whenever I have egg whites. Today, I was planning to make a swiss roll sponge. For some reason, the weighing machine just didn’t move and I kept going at the flour but once I stirred the mixture, I knew it was too late. There was too much flour. So instead of going on with that mistake, I added an egg to the egg white mixture and made this cake.
No regrets. It tastes absolutely wonderful.
