Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons hot water
1 tablespoon coffee flavored liqueur
1 tablespoon chocolate liqueur
1 cup sifted cake flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
3 egg whites
3 egg yolks
1 cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9 inch round cake pans. Dissolve the espresso powder and cocoa powder in the hot water; set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually sprinkle in 1/4 cup sugar while continuing to whip until stiff, but not dry.
  • In a separate bowl, whip egg yolks with remaining sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Stir in the espresso mixture, then sift in the flour, baking powder and salt. Gently stir until incorporated. Fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter until very well mixed, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites. A few streaks are okay. Divide the batter between the two prepared pans, and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top of the cake springs back when lightly pressed.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would recommend using less sugar if you don't like your cakes too sweet.

This cake was a bit dry. I think I should have used more eggs or butter.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.
