 • In another bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.

 • Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until well combined.

 • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

 • Remove from oven and cool the cake upside down on a wire rack.

 2. Chocolate Ganache Frosting:

 • Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.

 • In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to boil.

 • Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes.

 • Add butter and stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

 • Let the ganache cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.

 3. Assembly:

 • Once the cake has cooled, spread the chocolate ganache frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.

 • Press the crushed chocolate cookies crumbs onto the sides of the cake for garnish.
