Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Position oven rack at the lowest level.
  3. Melt the unsweetened chocolate in a small heatproof bowl over hot water or in short bursts in the microwave; let cool slightly.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup of the superfine sugar, sifted cake flour, and salt; whisk until well blended.
  5. In a large, clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites until frothy.
  6. Add cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
  7. Gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg whites in four additions, mixing just until combined.
  9. Carefully fold in the vanilla and melted chocolate until evenly distributed.
  10. Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
  11. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  12. Immediately invert the pan onto a narrow-neck bottle or cooling rack to cool completely, upside down.
  13. Once cooled, loosen the edges of the cake from the pan with a narrow spatula before removing.
