- Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
- In the stand mixer bowl, whisk egg whites and a pinch of salt, until stiff peaks, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium and add the sugar over 2 minutes. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Increase the speed to high and whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy and stiff peaks, 6 to 7 minutes. Add cocoa powder, vanilla extract, almond extract, and vinegar. Mix until just combined (you might have to use a spatula). Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter in half. Spread onto baking sheet, in about two 8 inch circles. You want them about 1 inch high, and evenly sized. Place the meringue into the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave it in the oven for 3 more hours. Open the oven door and cool completely before removing from the oven, approximately 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Whipped Cream
- In the bowl for an electric mixer, whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add sugar and almond extract, whisk to combine. ** You can store in the fridge until the next day if you need to, just whisk by hand for a minute to stiffen it up again.
- To prepare the cake place one meringue onto a serving platter. Spread with a generous layer of whipped cream. Top with the second meringue, and more whipped cream. Garnish with shaved chocolate, if desired. Let set for 1 hour before serving. Store in the fridge.
