How to Make Chocolate Black Tea Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 360°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 6 large egg yolks, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually beat in 1 cup freshly brewed strong black tea, cooled slightly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ cup panko bread crumbs, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 cup finely chopped hazelnuts.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 6 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter in three additions, being careful not to deflate.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. For best results, allow the cake to rest overnight before serving.
