Answer 4

here's a basic recipe...

7 eggs, separated

2/3 c. plus 2 tbsp. sugar

Pinch of salt

2 tsp. vanilla

1/3 c. plus 2 tbsp. sifted cocoa

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line jelly roll pan or cookie sheet with sides with foil, overlapping the ends. Grease and flour foil.

Beat egg yolks and 2/3 cup sugar until thick and tripled in volume. Beat in vanilla. In clean, large bowl beat egg whites until foamy; add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and pinch of salt. Beat until stiff peaks form.

Fold 1/3 of whites into yolks to lighten. Sift cocoa over top of this mixture and fold in gently. Fold in remaining whites. Spread in prepared pan and bake 15 minutes.

This is one of my mom's recipes

Jack Daniel's velvet cake  

1 (8 inch diameter) sponge cake, 1 inch thick

2 oz. Jack Daniel's whiskey, divided

2 lb. semi sweet chocolate

1 c. heavy cream

6 egg whites

1/4 c. sugar

Whipped cream

Place sponge cake layer in bottom of a spring form pan and douse the sponge with 1 ounce of Jack Daniel's whiskey. Set aside. Place the chocolate, broken into pieces, into the top of a double boiler over simmering water; add 1 ounce of Jack Daniel's whiskey and heat stirring until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, adding sugar a little at a time until all is used. Fold the whipped cream, chocolate and egg whites together. Mix thoroughly, but not vigorously. Pour the chocolate mixture into the cake-lined pan; refrigerate overnight. Remove cake from pan and smooth the sides with a cake spatula. Decorate the borders with whipped cream.
