1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

4 large eggs, separated

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/4 cup cocoa powder

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

3. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugar, salt, and vanilla until combined.

4. Add the egg yolks one at a time, whisking after each addition.

5. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.

6. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in thirds, ensuring not to deflate them.

9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft.

10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
