1 Step

Separate the egg yolks and the whites into different bowls.

*Room temperature eggs will whip easier. So separate your eggs while they are still cold and then allow the whites to come to room temperature. The tiniest bit of yolk in the whites, will not let it whip perfectly.

2 Step

In another bowl, add the sifted flour and remove one table spoon full of flour from the bowl and replace it with sifted chocolate powder. Mix them together. Then again sift the mixture until both ingredients mix well together.  Usually 3 times would be enough. Keep it in a side.

3 Step

 In another clean dry bowl, Using an electric mixer fitted with a wire whip, beat the egg whites by adding sugar until it firm peaks form. 

Step 4

Add the egg yolks onto the egg whits and give it a quick beat to mix. Not more than a minute.

Step 5

Add flour mixture gradually on to the egg mixture and fold it gently to a one side using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until mix them all together and mixture gets the light brown color. Do not beat it from a electric mixture.
