Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Hot water
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the egg whites until lightly frothy.
To the whisked egg whites, add buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until no large lumps remain.
Carefully pour the hot water into the batter, a little at a time, stirring constantly. The batter will be thin, which is expected.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula if necessary.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
If desired, sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips over the cake while it is still warm so they melt slightly, or use them as a garnish once cooled.
Slice and serve your No Yolk Chocolate Fudge Cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
