The lost brother of the soufflé! We found him, he was sitting in a corner crying inside. His shoulders were slightly slumped and his confidence was broken. It is, as it says, a tea snack. The two-ingredient chocolate cake recipe does not contain flour and baking powder, for example, and there is no extra oil. All the trick is hidden in eggs and dark chocolate pieces.

Egg whites are taken into a separate bowl and whisked violently to form a solid foam. Actually, this is the most important point. Egg yolks are added to the chocolate melting in a double boiler. Whipped egg whites are added in three batches. It is mixed with a spatula from bottom to top. It is baked in a cake mold lined with baking paper.

It rises like a puff, as if touched by a magic wand, and is eaten with pleasure, slice by slice.
