Just like a magic cake, but with chocolate - and chocoholics will love this! I dare you to stop at one piece! - notsobendywendy

Ingredients

4 eggs room temperature separated
1 tbs water
500ml milk warmed
150g sugar
125g butter melted
65g plain flour
50g cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp white vinegar *optional

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 160C. Grease and flour a 20cm x 20cm baking dish.
Step 2

Add the egg yolks to the bowl of a mixer. Add a teaspoon of hot water sugar. Beat on high speed until light and creamy.
Step 3

Add melted butter, vanilla extract and salt to mixture and continue beating until butter is fully mixed in and mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 4

Sift cocoa and flour together 3 times and add to bowl in batches. After each addition, mix thoroughly.
Step 5

Once flour and cocoa is mixed in, gradually add warm milk, a little at a time. Make sure the milk is thoroughly mixed through. The mixture will be very runny.
Step 6

In another bowl, add egg whites and white vinegar, and mix until stiff.
Step 7

Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture with a spatula.
Step 8

Pour into a baking dish and bake for approximately 60 minutes until cooked. The cake will be wobbly in the middle due to custard.
Step 9

Allow to cool completely before serving. Sprinkle either cocoa or icing sugar over the top before serving.
