    List of Ingredients




    1 stick unsalted butter
    12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
    -- pieces
    5 large eggs -- separated
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 tablespoon flour

    Recipe





    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In heavy saucepan melt
    butter over low heat; add chocolate and heat just until
    melted and smooth, stirring occasionally. Remove from
    heat. Meanwhile, beat egg yolks, sugar and vanilla in small
    bowl until thoroughly blended. In another bowl beat egg
    whites to form soft peaks. Beat yolk mixture and flour into
    chocolate mixture; mix in about 1/4 of the egg whites. With
    rubber spatula fold remaining egg whites into chocolate
    mixture to blend thoroughly. Oil an 8" square baking pan
    and line with a piece of wax paper 8" long, allowing two
    opposite ends to extend up sides of pan. Pour chocolate
    mixture into pan; cut through several times with spatula to
    release air bubbles. Bake in center of oven 25 to 35
    minutes until firm and slightly cracked around edges. Cool
    on rack 10 minutes. Loosen edges with knife and lift out of
    pan with ends of wax paper; cool completely. (Cake will
    sink in middle.) Carefully spread top of cake with icing. Cut
    into 1 1/2" squares, cleaning knife as needed between
    cuts. Before icing sets, decorate tops as desired. Makes
    about 4 dozen bars.
