Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Grate the German sweet chocolate bars coarsely using a box grater. Reserve 1/3 cup of the grated chocolate for topping.
  6. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  7. To the butter mixture, alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
  8. Gently fold in the remaining grated chocolate into the batter.
  9. Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the batter in three additions, using a spatula to maintain airiness.
  10. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the reserved 1/3 cup of grated chocolate evenly over the surface.
  11. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
