Recipe Introduction
The best! Try this with my recipe for hot fudge sauce. Just drizzle the fudge sauce on top! This is a flourless cake.
List of Ingredients
8 Tbsp (1 stick) plus 1 Tbsp softened, unsalted butter, divided
8 oz semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
5 large eggs, at room temperature, separated
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp saltRecipe
1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with 1 Tbsp of the butter, and dust with flour, tapping out any excess.
2. In a metal bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the chocolate with the remaining 8 Tbsp butter and stir occasionally until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat.
3. You will need to separate the eggs. In another bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg yolks together with the sugar and vanilla until thick, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl once or twice, for about three minutes. In a third bowl, whisk the egg whites with the salt until stiff, for about two minutes., Slowly and gently fold the chocolate into the yolk mixture, adding just a little chocolate at a time to keep the eggs from scrambling. Fold in the egg whites.
4. Pour the batter into the springform pan and bake in the center of the oven until spongy, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, remove the springform ring, and place the cake on a rack to cool completely.
5. When cool, prepare icing.
(I use a recipe of hot fudge sauce instead of icing. I have the recipe posted on my site too)
