Notes

For extra fluffiness, separate the eggs and beat the whites until stiff peaks form before folding them into the batter. Consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, or freeze them for up to two months. Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or colorful berries for an attractive presentation!
