- Beat the egg whites with 40g of sugar until soft peaks form, then whip them. Put aside.
- Beat egg yolks with vanilla essence and the remaining 40g of sugar until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Sieve flour, baking powder, salt, and three tablespoons of cocoa powder. Add coffee, melted butter, and egg yolk combination. Stir until well blended.
- Gently fold in the beaten egg whites until they are well mixed. Don’t mix too much.
