This chocolate bundt cake is quick, foolproof and simply delicious. Besides that, it uses up all the egg whites left from preparing the raw food for my carnivorous cats. The cake has a moist and fluffy crumb and not overly sweet. I served it with a dust of icing sugar and fruit. You can pour a chocolate glaze over or serve with some whipped cream at side or atop a good vanilla ice cream if desired.
|
- Butter a 24 cm bundtcake pan thoroughly and flour it well (besides flour, you can also use cacao powder or almond meal). Tip off the excess. Set aside.
- Place chopped butter and dark chocolate in a large heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, making sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir occasionally as they soften. As soon as the chocolate begins to melt, remove the bowl. Preheat the oven to 175C/350F.
- Place egg white in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a balloon whisk. Beat until fluffy, then slowly add in sugar and continue beating until glossy and stiff.
- Sift the spelt flour and cornstarch together. Sift 1/3 of the flour mixture into the egg whites and fold to combine. Repeat with the remaining flour mixture in two additions. Now add in chocolate-butter mixture and fold until well combined.
- Spread the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface. Bake in the middle of hot oven for 20-22 minutes until a wooden skewer or chopstick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Remove and leave the cake in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully revert onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar and serve with whipped cream and fresh fruit if desired.

Gracias por la receta. La haré pronto. Te mando un beso
Hi! Angie, looks really delicious 😀!
Beautiful cake. I love that it just calls for egg whites. Don’t you just love these moulds, they’re so pretty.
Looks delicious and beautiful! Thank you for the recipe.
Your bundt cake so beautiful.
Delicioso bizcocho que tiene dos buenas cualidades, el aprovechamiento y el dulce, para relamerse como tus gatos.

OMG where didst thou find fresh figs in the middle of winter??? LOL
Pure cake elegance to serve with a delicious flavor!
Very interesting recipe, looks so good, I will make it, happy new year Angie.
It looks so light and delicious, Angie! I love the texture of egg white cakes and chocolate is always a great idea :)
Love the shake of bundt cakes, and the flavors in yours are outstanding. Really inspired dish. Thank you!
You got this cake beautifully!
Beautiful cake, I love the shape that bundt pans give to cake
Oh YUM! My mother used to make bundt xakes all of the time and I do miss them. This looks wonderful but then I do love anything with chocolate.
It looks amazing! Photos are so beautiful! :)
Presentation is perfect Dear Angie! I would like to eat this beautiful cake and piece of fig with a hot cup of tea.
Looks very tasty :)
With the 10 egg whites shake you will surely have obtained a very airy sponge cake. Ideal to soak in some syrup flavored with rum.
With my tea, I would love a piece of that nice cake!
Using a bundt tin shows this delicious cake off beautifully Angie. I always have egg whites left over as well, and I need to use some cacao so this would be perfect. This one is on my must do list. Thanks so much. Hope you are well.
Ohhh, that looks absolutely heavenly!! - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com

Sarebbe perfetta ora a colazione!!!

Your bundt cake looks divine, Angie!
Happy Monday!
Another delicious recipe of yours, Angie!
What a great way to enjoy your egg whites, Angie. Love the texture of this cake.
This sounds light and lovely with egg whites. I'd love a piece with a cup of tea!
Delectable!
Looks amazing Angie I love bundt cakes!!!
So this is almost a chocolate angel food cake. Yummy! And probably healthier for me right now!
I don't enjoy dry cake, so I am more than happy to be guided by you saying that this is mix makes a good, moist cake.
Although I have to admit that I seldom have eggs in the house and my eyes nearly popped out when you said add 10 egg whites. I am not an egg lover unless they are hard-boiled, or they are scrambled to a very specific consistency. Poached or fried eggs do absolutely nothing to tempt me!!
A recipe which I shall probably store away for that 'just in case' time, even though it looks great! :)
Looks beautiful and yummy.
Bundt cake are my favorite, this is beautiful!
Jenna
I love the simplicity of the ingredient list! And chocolate cake is always welcome at my house!
Angie, We love a good moist Bundt cake but for some reason, I don't remember ever having a chocolate version... Just never thought of it. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

Great use of egg white leftovers. I am thinking what I would do if I had so much egg white leftovers since I don't bake. Ok, still something savory ;p
