Ingredients

• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Egg whites
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Hot water
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the egg whites until lightly frothy.

Step 4

To the whisked egg whites, add buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until no large lumps remain.

Step 6

Carefully pour the hot water into the batter, a little at a time, stirring constantly. The batter will be thin, which is expected.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula if necessary.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips over the cake while it is still warm so they melt slightly, or use them as a garnish once cooled.

Step 11

Slice and serve your No Yolk Chocolate Fudge Cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
