List of Ingredients



• 16 oz best quality semisweet chocolate
  
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  
• 1 1/2 tsp flour
  
• 1 tsp hot water
  
• 4 large eggs, separated
  
• 1 1/2 tsp sugar
  
• whipped cream for topping
  
• unsweetened cocoa for topping
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Greast the bottom (only) of an 8" springform pan.
   
2. Melt chocolate and butter in the top of double boiler over simmering water. When melted, transfer into a bowl, and add flour, water and blend well. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating after each addition.
   
3. Beat egg whites until very frothy. Add the sugar and continue beating until they are stiff and shiny, but not dry. Fold into the chocolate mixture.
   
4. Pour into pan and bake for 15 minutes, ONLY! The cake will look very undone in the center.
   
5. Cool the cake thoroughly. (Overnight in the fridge is best.) Whip cream until soft peaks form. Spread a very thick layer over top of cake, smoothing with spatula.
   
6. Shake unsweetened cocoa through a sieve over the whipped cream. Use a doily to make a design on the whipped cream if you wish. Cut the cake while cold, but let it stand at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
