Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 20cm metal cake pan with butter, ghee, or coconut oil.
- Whisk egg whites until they develop a foamy consistency.
- In a separate bowl, mix all remaining chocolate cake ingredients. Then slowly fold egg whites into the batter.
- Pour batter into cake pan. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
