Delicious chocolate cake
Description
The baking is simple and quick. A plain chocolate cake is actually very delicious. It's considered plain only because it's not filled with cream. The finished cake is dusted with powdered sugar and decorated with walnut halves. Making the chocolate cake batter is not difficult, but you definitely need to know the secrets! First, to properly whip the egg whites, you must carefully separate them from the yolks. The whites should preferably be chilled, and a pinch of salt should be added to stabilize them. When incorporating the whipped whites into the batter, do so gently, mixing lightly. In general, handle the batter very carefully! The finished cake remains slightly moist inside, but the batter should not stick to a toothpick. Good luck! Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
