List of Ingredients




1 1/4 cups pastry or cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
10 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, cut into small chunks
12 tablespoons (6 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
4 eggs, separated
1/3 cup whiskey or brandy, warmed slightly
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar


Recipe



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set an 8 x 2 1/2-inch ring on it. Wrap an 8-inch cardboard round with foil and set aside.

In a small bowl, sift together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.

In a double boiler or a metal bowl placed over simmering water, melt the chocolate. Keep warm

Meanwhile, with the paddle of an electric mixer, cream the butter until light. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and continue to cream until fluffy. (It is very important that this mixture is light and fluffy.)

Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, the whiskey or brandy, and the vanilla. Stop the machine and scrape in the melted chocolate. Continue to mix until well-combined. Remove the bowl from the machine and fold in half the flour mixture. Fold in the remaining flour.

With a clean whisk and bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of the sugar and continue to whisk until shiny and firm, but not stiff. Stir 1/4 of the whites into the batter to lighten, then fold in the remaining whites.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake ring and bake for 1 hour. Invert immediately onto the foil-covered cardboard round and run a sharp knife around the sides of the cake, loosening the cake from the ring. Do not remove the ring from the cake. Let cool completely on a rack. Then carefully lift off the ring.

Presentation: Dust the cake with sifted powdered sugar and serve with Creme Fraiche Ice Cream or whipped cream.
