In separate medium bowl, with mixer on high speed, beat egg yolks and remaining 6 tablespoons sugar 2 minutes or until thick and pale yellow; stir in coffee-cocoa mixture. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into yolk mixture; fold in to incorporate. Fold in egg white mixture; spread batter in prepared dish. Bake cake 20 minutes or until top springs back lightly when pressed; cool completely on wire rack.

In separate medium bowl, with mixer on high speed, beat egg white 3 minutes or until soft peaks form; with mixer running, gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and beat 2 minutes or until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream and egg white into milk mixture; cover and refrigerate 6 hours or until set. Makes about 2 cups.
