Yield Makes 10-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 2/3 cups cake flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups plus 3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 large eggs, separated
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips (about 6 ounces)

Using electric mixer, beat 1 1/3 cups sugar, butter, 3 yolks and 1 whole egg in large bowl until blended. Beat in flour mixture alternately with buttermilk in 3 additions each. Mix in chocolate chips.
  • Using clean dry beaters, beat 3 egg whites in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes.

Using tip of knife, swirl top meringue and some of chocolate batter together.

The meringue crust on this cake is to die for! It's so light and airy, and it pairs perfectly with the rich chocolate cake. I'm not usually a big fan of cake, but I couldn't resist going back for seconds of this one.

This cake was a hit at my dinner party! The meringue crust was perfectly crisp and the chocolate cake was moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
