Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Whisk in the egg yolks, sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, kosher salt, and vanilla into the chocolate mixture until combined.

In a large bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
