minutes. Whisk chocolate into yolks and sugar.
Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, about 3
minutes; add remaining
1
⁄2 cup of sugar and continue
beating until whites are stiff but not dry, about 2 to 3
more minutes. Fold
3
⁄4 of the whites into the chocolate-
yolk mixture in 3 additions using a large rubber spatula.
Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl as
you fold the two together. Sift the flour into the mixture
and gently fold in with spatula. Finally, gently fold in the
remaining egg whites.
