First things first, preheat your oven to 350Â°F. Don’t forget to grease and line your 8-inch round pan. It’s like prepping for a mini-baking expedition!

Tips Which Might Be Helpful!

Choose high-quality ingredients: The flavor of your cake depends on the quality of your ingredients. Opt for good-quality chopped chocolate and premium vanilla extract for the best results. Brands like Guittard and Ghirardelli are excellent choices for chocolate, and Rodelle offers a fantastic vanilla extract.
Carefully separate the eggs: Achieving a perfect meringue requires separating the egg whites from the yolks with precision. Ensure no yolks sneak into the whites, as even a small amount can affect the texture of the cake. Additionally, wipe down the mixing bowl and whisk with vinegar or lemon juice to remove any grease or fat, ensuring optimal egg white whipping.
Avoid overmixing the batter: Achieving the ideal texture of the cake may take some practice. To allow the cake to rise and then fall into itself beautifully, fold the ingredients together gently. Be cautious not to overmix; aim to eliminate any streaks of melted chocolate or egg whites without over-stirring. Remember, less is more to maintain the fluffy texture.
Do not overbake: Overbaking can result in a dry and crumbly cake. Watch for visual cues to determine when the cake is done. It should be puffed on top with a smooth, matte finish, and the edges will begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. For a moist and fudgy cake, it’s better to slightly underbake than to overdo it.
