FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE #2
You'll have to taste it to believe it!
INGREDIENTS:
7 ounces extra bittersweet chocolate (do not use baking chocolate)
14 tablespoons (1 3/4 sticks) unsalted butter
5 large eggs, separated
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened dark cocoa powder
PREPARATION:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10-inch springform pan.
In the top of the double boiler over simmering water, combine the chocolate
and butter. Heat until melted and smooth. Transfer to a medium-size bowl
and whisk in the egg yolks and vanilla. Sift in the sugar, salt, and cocoa
while continuing to whisk.
With a mixer, whip the egg whites to soft peaks. Fold one third of them into
the chocolate mixture. Repeat with the remaining whites, then pour the mixture
into the prepared pan. Place on the lower rack of the oven and bake for 25
minutes.
Remove to a cake rack and immediately loosen the springform collar (sides).
Slip a plate inside the collar on top of the cake and push down slightly
to push the air from the cake. Remove the plate and springform collar, and
allow the cake to cool before serving.
Yield: 8 servings
