Tips for Making Chocolate Magic Cake

– Leave your eggs out to come to room temperature before you start baking.

– Make sure the bowl you use to beat your egg whites is completely clean. Any traces of grease or fat will prevent them from forming the stiff glossy peaks you're after.

– The batter might look running at first, but don't fret! It'll turn into a beautiful cake once baked.

– An 8×8-inch baking dish is ideal for this recipe.
