1. Separate the eggs. Add a pinch of salt and 100 g of the sugar to the egg whites and beat until stiff picks form.
2. In a separate bowl mix the flour, chocolate powder and baking powder.
3. In another bowl, beat together the butter (at room temperature) and the remaining sugar, until nice and creamy. Add the egg yolks and mix together.
4. Add the flour mix to the butter mix, and beat well. Add the 4 tablespoons of milk and mix again. Add the sour cream.
5. Melt the chocolate in a heat proof bowl over simmering water. Let it cool for a bit and then add the melted chocolate to the mixture.
6. Add the Vanilla extract.
7. Grease out a pan, and pour in the mixture.
8. Let the cake bake at 180°C for about 45-55 min. You can always check if the cake is done, by poking in a skewer and it comes out clean.
9. Let the cake cool and before serving sprinkle some powder sugar over the cake. Serve it with a heap of whipped cream!
