Yield Makes 10-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 2/3 cups cake flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups plus 3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 large eggs, separated
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips (about 6 ounces)

Using electric mixer, beat 1 1/3 cups sugar, butter, 3 yolks and 1 whole egg in large bowl until blended. Beat in flour mixture alternately with buttermilk in 3 additions each. Mix in chocolate chips.
  • Using clean dry beaters, beat 3 egg whites in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes.

Using tip of knife, swirl top meringue and some of chocolate batter together.
