Chocolate cake with egg whites and chocolate glaze

This cupcake is a good solution when you need to recycle proteins. Every now and then my egg whites accumulate. It’s good that they can be stored in the refrigerator for a long time, and even longer in the freezer. Therefore, when there are 3-5 of them, I cook something where only proteins need to be used. I usually bake cookies. This time I wanted something more significant. This cupcake, according to the recipe of the famous pie maker Chadeika, turned out to be the fluffiest of all that I have ever prepared. It is somewhat reminiscent of a baked soufflé.
