- Sift the flour together with the cocoa, baking powder, and a little salt.
- Melt the butter and chocolate in a bain-marie. Add the sugar and stir until the sugar is completely melted. Refrigerate the cream until it reaches room temperature.
- Separate the eggs. Incorporate the yolks into the chocolate cream and mix well. Add the dry ingredients and the coffee and stir until smooth.
- Whip the egg whites until frothy. Gently fold them into the chocolate mixture with upward movements.
- Pour the mixture into the baking tray and bake for 30 minutes. Let cool in the tray for about 2-3 hours and then prepare the icing.
