Next, separate the egg whites from the yolks and mix the yolks with sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes creamy and pale yellow in color. Add melted butter and mix until incorporated, then sift in flour and cocoa powder and continue mixing. Add milk to the mixture and mix until homogeneous.

In a separate bowl, whip the whites with salt until foamy, then add sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whites into the milk and yolk mixture, then pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes. After baking, let the cake cool completely in the pan and refrigerate for a couple of hours or overnight to set.
