Directions

  1. Heat oven to 325°F (300°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease 15x10x1-inch pan with butter. Line bottom of pan with waxed paper; grease paper with butter.
  2. In large bowl, beat egg yolks with electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Gradually add 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, beating on high speed about 5 minutes or until thick and lemon colored. In small bowl, stir coffee granules in water until dissolved.
  3. Add cooled chocolate and coffee to egg yolk mixture; beat on low speed until blended, scraping bowl occasionally.
  4. In another large bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold one-fourth of the egg whites into chocolate batter to lighten. Fold in remaining egg whites. Sift flour over batter; fold in flour until blended.

  6. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched in center.
