Ingredients for a 26.7 cm (10.5 inch) round pan :

• 7 large eggs
• 7 Tbsp water (40 ml)
• 10 Tbsp all-purpose flour (160 g)
• 4 Tbsp cocoa powder (50 g)
• 14 Tbsp sugar (210 g)
• 4-5 Tbsp chopped or ground walnuts (optional)

The pan should be greased with butter and floured or lined with parchment paper.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

Beat egg whites and water with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Add sugar and beat until dissolved.

Fold in the egg yolks.  Combine flour, cocoa powder and ground walnuts.

Carefully blend in the dry mixture until just combined.  Pour batter into your two springform pans and bake for about 30 minutes, or until brown (you can insert a toothpick in the centre and if it comes out clean then it’s ready).
