Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 300•
Prepare an 8x8" pan.
Step 2
Separate the eggs and add the egg yolks to the bowl of a mixer. Add a tbsp of water to the egg yolks and add the sugar. Beat this at high until eggs are light and creamy.
Add melted butter, vanilla extract and salt to mixer and continue beating until butter is fully incorporated and mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 3
mix the cocoa and flour together and add to the mixing bowl in batches, 3 times should be enough. After each addition mix thoroughly.
Once flour and cocoa powder has been mixed in, add the milk a bit at a time and mix. The milk should be warm so not to cool the butter. Make sure the milk has been mixed in thoroughly, the mixture should be pretty liquidy.
Step 4
Beat egg whites in a mixing bowl and the vinegar and wisk until egg whites are stiff.
Step 5
Fold the whites into the other mixture slowly and carefully. The mixture should be like a crepe batter.
Step 6
Bake for 40-60minutes, the center may still giggle, but that's ok.
Allow it to cool completely.
Step 7
Dust with cocoa powder mixed with icing sugar.
