HOW
Makes 4 mini cakes or 12 cupcakes
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin pan with cooking spray or put liners in muffin tins.
First, whip your egg whites to stiff peaks. Gently slide them into a bowl and set aside.
Mix dry ingredients separate from wet ingredients, and the merge wet to dry. Stir chocolate chips. Fold in egg whites; keep folding (using a rubber spatula, folding the batter over and over to mix but not destroy your egg whites. This will add the fluffiness we all love!
Pour into mini cake or muffin pans and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350deg.
As with any cake, stick a wooden toothpick in and if it comes out clean, your cake and or cupcakes are good to go! Top off with chopped pistachios and more chocolate morsels! It is delicious!
Enjoy!
