- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups lukewarm milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish and set aside.

- In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks with sugar until pale and creamy. Mix in melted butter and water.
- Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then mix until fully incorporated.
- Slowly add in milk and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Gently fold in beaten egg whites. The batter will be thin and slightly lumpy.
