Introduction
Chocolate Cotton Cake is a wonderfully light and fluffy dessert, similar to a chiffon cake but even softer, almost like a cloud. This delightful cake gets its airy texture from the meringue base, which when combined with rich chocolate, results in a heavenly treat. It’s perfect for those who love the flavor of chocolate but prefer a lighter, less dense cake.
