How to Make Choc Chilli Cake
- Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake tin.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/2 cup boiling water until completely smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add the cooled cocoa mixture to the wet ingredients. Incorporate 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate batter in two additions.
- Add 1-2 teaspoons of chilli powder (adjust to your spice preference). Fold gently until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared cake tin and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
