List of Ingredients




1/3 c. unsalted butter
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1 c. sugar
2 eggs, beaten well
2/3 c. unbleached flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
Chocolate mousse filling (see below)
1 c. heavy cream, for frosting


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour an 8- or 9-inch square
baking pan. Set aside. Melt butter and chocolate over low heat or in
the top of a double boiler over hot water. Remove from heat, add sugar
and eggs, mix well.

Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir into the
chocolate mixture. Add the vanilla and pour the mixture into the
prepared pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until cake is baked but still
very moist. Then cool.

Remove the cake from the pan and cut into strips wide enough so they can
line most of the side of a 2-quart souffle dish or charlotte mold. Cut
strips through center to separate into two thinner halves. Lin the
bottom and sides of diesh with the strips. Don't worry about piecing;
the spaces won't show.

Spoon the mousse filling into the cake-lined dish. Wrap the dish well,
and chill overnight in the fridge or freezer. To serve, first defrost
the cake, if frozen. Remove it from the pan, first loosening the sides
with a knife, then dipping the pan partly into hot water to loosen the
cake so it can be turned outonto a serving plate. Whip the cup of heavy
cream until stiff and decorate top and parts of sides with cream. Serve
in small slices.
