In a bowl with a mixer, whip the whites to soft peaks, then slowly add the last 1/2 cup sugar and whip again.
Mix 1/3 of the whites into the chocolate base to lighten, then fold the remaining whites in gently.
Pour the batter into the bundt pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cake begins to pull away from the sides.
Remove for the oven and let cool, then turn onto a plate.
NOTES: This cake does not need icing, but you can sift a little powdered sugar over the top, fill the center with whipped cream and raspberries or serve with hot fudge sauce. We decided to pour chocolate icing over the top of ours and finished it off with sprinkles.
