A completely airy chocolate cake due to the lack of flour that is simply irresistible! Moreover to taste it with a side “nutella” flavored whipped cream, it’s just a marvel! To test it as soon as possible :-)
In two words:“This is how the lightning of a single sword can bring light to an entire century”.

- Stir the egg yolk into the chocolate with a rubber spatula
- Add a little bit of salt into the egg white and use an electric hand mixer to foam and form a meringue

Inspiration
A recipe I had found in the youtube channel of Everyday Food of Martha Stewart on the subject.
You can also find the recipe at the site of Martha Stewart.
(*) I’ve made the whipped cream with both real nutella and with an organic chocolate spread; it’s true that with the organic spread we taste the flavor of hazelnuts better, it’s up to you :)
