Chocolate Egg Whites Chiffon Cake
This is another effort of mine trying to rescue the unwanted egg whites. I had my doubt when reading the recipe. What!!! adding the unwhipped egg whites straight to the flour mixture??? But I thought, what the hell, I had nothing to lose anyway. It is only egg whites.
My verdict on the cake is absolutely soft and spongy even without the cake emulsifier. Amazing really, how can it be that soft without the cake emulsifier. I still couldn’t explain the reason.
As the recipe suggested, do not buttered the baking tin. I wouldn’t be so sure about that. The side of the cake is not that difficult, but as for the bottom one, I rip part of my cake and left it on the pan. Next time I will definitely butter the pan very lightly especially the bottom of the tin.

- 125 gr plain flour
- 25 gr cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder

- Add milk and melted butter to the mixture. Mix.
- Add 100 gr egg whites to the mixture. Mix well until combined.
- Using a hand held mixture or a stand mixer, whip the egg whites and salt until foamy. Then add sugar and whip until high peak.
- Mix the first mixture to the whip egg whites little by little and mix until well combined.
- Bake in a chiffon cake baking tin (do not buttered the pan, however I will buttered it very lightly next time just in case the cake sticks to the pan) until cook.
- Straight after the cake out of the oven, put the cake upside down until it cools down.
- Using an aid (like a dull knife, I used a satay stick), take the cake out of the tin.
