Yield: 24 servings
Chocolate Cake
Des Alpes Extra Brut Cocoa Powder, Dutch Processed (504047) | 2oz (56g) | |

Sift the cocoa powder and all-purpose flour together and set aside. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the yolks and the first amount of sugar and whip to ribbon stage. In a separate stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the egg whites with the sugar and whip to a soft-peak meringue. Fold the meringue into the yolk mixture, followed by the sifted dry ingredients. Finally fold in the melted butter, being careful not to deflate the batter. Spread the batter evenly onto a flat parchment paper-lined sheet pan and bake at 325ºF/163ºC for 10-15 minutes or until done. Cool completely and cut out 2 in/5.1 cm circles.
