whites with a pinch of salt until stiff byt not dry. Stir one quarter of
the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighted it; then fold all back
into the remaining egg whites. Fill the cake pan 3/4 full and tap gently on
the table to distribute the mixture evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes,
watching carefully, until the outside is solid and the center still creamy
