Fold in the baking powder and the whipped egg whites, mixing with an upward motion.
Line a baking pan (9.5-inch diameter) with parchment paper and pour the batter inside, smoothing it out and decorating with the reserved walnut halves and chocolate chips.
Bake in a preheated oven at 340°F for about half an hour, perform the toothpick test. Let it cool and then serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
