Directions

Whip those egg whites into beautifully stiff peaks and gently set them aside to maintain their magnificent, airy volume.
Grab a sturdy wooden spoon and mix the sugar, egg yolks, flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, oil, and salt until you get a gorgeously thick and rich chocolate paste.
Fold the fluffy beaten egg whites and the steaming boiling water into your chocolate base until everything melts into a spectacularly smooth, velvety batter.
Pour this incredible mixture into a well-greased cake pan and bake in a preheated oven at 140°C or 280°F for around 40 glorious minutes.
Poke the center gently with a wooden toothpick to ensure it emerges perfectly clean before pulling your flawless cake out of the oven.
