Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler and then cool. Beat 4 whole eggs and 2 yolks in mixer until they fall off beaters in a ribbon. Fold into cooled chocolate mixture.
Beat 2 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold gently into chocolate mixture and pour into a buttered loaf pan. Place loaf pan into a larger, deeper pan and fill the larger pan with hot water to halfway up the side of the loaf pan.
