Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with vegetable cooking spray.

2. On waxed paper, sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and baking powder.

3. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat sugar and margarine until light and fluffy. Beat in water, molasses, and egg yolk. At low speed, alternately beat in milk and flour mixture.

4. Using clean beaters, beat egg whites at high speed until stiff, but not dry, peaks form. Fold one-quarter of the egg whites into batter. Fold in remaining whites. Scrape batter into prepared pan. Smooth top.

5. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes. Place pan on a wire rack and cool completely. Spread frosting cover cake. Garnish with white chocolate.
