Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, sift together 1 cup sugar, cake flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt twice to ensure a smooth consistency.
- In another bowl, combine egg yolks, canola oil, water, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients mixture into the dry ingredients mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
- Using a mixer, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Slowly add 1/2 cup of sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold 1/3 of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate batter to lighten it. Then, carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the cake just begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a serving plate.
- Serve as is, as this cake requires no icing.
- For added decadence, consider filling the center with lightly sweetened whipped cream and raspberries, or simply dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing and serving with whipped cream and hot fudge sauce. Let your imagination run wild!
Notes:
- This cake is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Experiment with different toppings and fillings to customize the cake to your liking. From fresh fruits to chocolate ganache, the options are endless.
