Beating the eggs results in a super high cake that is light and airy. Though the chocolate flavor is not overbearing, it is still a deliciously flavored chocolate cake that you can enjoy without eating a super rich and heavy chocolate cake. Feel free to top with the frosting of your choice, or to eat it simply as it is.
12 eggs, separated
3 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup Gefen Cocoa
1 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Sugar
juice and rind of 1 lemon
3 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup water
1 and 1/2 cups coconut (optional)
Beat egg whites until stiff, then add two cups sugar and beat until it forms peaks. Set aside.
Beat egg yolks with remaining sugar until lemon colored. Gradually add oil, cocoa, vanilla and lemon. Fold into beaten egg whites.
Add flour and baking powder, alternating with juice and water. Mix until smooth.
Pour into the prepared baking pan. Bake for one hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 10- x 16-inch baking pan.
