1. For the chocolate cake, begin by preheating the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease and line the base of four 6-inch (20cm) cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, espresso powder and salt. Set the dry ingredients aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, buttermilk, coffee and hazelnut extract until they’re well combined. Sift the dry ingredients over the wet ingredients and fold them together just until the last streak of flour is combined.
3. Distribute the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans (about 11 oz per 6-inch pan). Bake for 30 minutes, until the center of the cake springs back when it's poked or a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove the cakes from the pan and allow them to cool completely.
4. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the aluminum bowl and the whisk attachment of the stand mixer (they can’t have any fat residue when making meringue). Once they’re clean and dry, place the egg whites and the granulated sugar in the bowl.
