- Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 120g dark chocolate
- 80g erythritol or 90g sugar
- Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius (preferably with fan-forced setting).

- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gradually fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture using a spatula, incorporating them gently to keep the mixture airy.
- Pour the batter into a 16cm cake pan lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the cake has set but is still moist in the center.
- Allow the cake to cool before removing it from the pan.
