chocolate cake?

cocalls

Morning all,

i've 3 egg whites to use up and ive accquired a large bar of milk chocolate.

im being a complete skintflint this week and refuse to buy anything else but would like to make a chocolatey cake thing. I also have sugar and flour and butter but does anyone know of a brownie/cake receipe that would use up my egg whites (do have extra whole eggs to chuck intothe mixture if required).Have googled it but no luck. (Will also needtobe idiot proof so i can make it while my 2yo 'helps')

many thanks

You could make these chocolate marble meringues, I'm sure milk chocolate would work too.

I have been given a packet of Hotel Chocolat figures (teddys I think ) in dark chocolate and was wondering if I grated it up I could use it in a cake or cookies None of my immediate family including me like dark chocolate (this is 70%stuff) I don't want to throw it away if I could use it somehow in maybe a cake or cookies that might make it taste better any ideas ?

oooh they look great would involve buying cream tho......

Angel food cakes use egg whites, but they're likely to call for cocoa powder, rather than chocolate. Could you use the chocolate to make a glaze or frosting?

I don't have any tried and tested angel food cake recipes--there is a Julia Child one, although it uses cream of tartar and cocoa which you may not have.

aha we seem to have two threads merged- jackie o i thinkputting it into cake would make it less bitter if thats what you dont like about dark chocolate.

Egg whites freeze quite well, I believe, so if you can't decide on a recipe or find you don't have time to make it, you could always stick them in the freezer for a time when you do need them.
