3 eggs, separated
1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

Heat oven to 180 C. Grease and flour a baking pan; set aside.

Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk sugar and egg whites until soft peaks form. Add butter, egg yolks and vanilla; fold until combined.

Add dry ingredients; fold until smooth. Pour into prepared baking pan; smooth top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 20 minutes; cool 20 minutes.

Invert cake onto a rack; cool completely. Cut into 16 squares; set aside.

Place chocolate in a bowl. Boil cream in a saucepan over high heat; pour over chocolate and let sit for 1 minute. Slowly stir until smooth; set aside.

Chill until chocolate sets, at least 1 hour.
