Sift flour and add alternately with sour milk to chocolate mixture, beating after each addition until smooth. Fold in beaten egg whites.

    Awesome!! Loved every delicious bite! Not only is the cake yummmmy, but I could eat the icing all by itself. If you want to conserve calories...stick to only a sliver...IF YA CAN--I couldn't! - 2/23/11
