Parchment paper
6 egg whites
1 Tbsp cream of tartar
1¼ cups sugar
3 Tbsp sifted cocoa
⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
4 cups whipped cream
Method:
- To make the cake: Heat oven to 100°C. Line twobaking pans with parchment paper and set aside. Draw two 9-inch circles in the center of the paper and set aside.
- Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Stream in 1¼ cups sugar and continue to beat on high speed. Just as the whites reach their peaks, sprinkle in sifted cocoa and cayenne pepper and continue beating to stiff peaks.
- Spread the meringue within the circles. Bake for 3 hours, turn off oven, and let sit for 1 hour.
- Cool on the pan on a wire rack. Store in a very dry, cool place.
- Fill the layers with whipped cream and serve within 2 hours.
