Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease and flour a 13x9-inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, along with the egg yolks. Beat until well combined.

In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate batter in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
-
Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove to cool completely.

For the topping, combine 1 cup whipping cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1/4 cup instant chocolate mix.

Beat the topping mixture until stiff peaks form.

Spread the whipped chocolate cream over the cooled cake.
