List of Ingredients




• 13 eggs, separated and kept at room temperature
• 13 ounces sugar
• 2 ounces cocoa powder
• 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted reserved warm in a medium size bowl

Recipe



Place three racks in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line six cookie sheets with buttered and floured parchment paper.
In a standing electric mixer, whip the egg whites on medium speed until foamy.
Begin to stream in 3/4 of the sugar (reserve the balance). This will take approximately 2-3 minutes.
Whip until soft but slightly firm peaks are formed and pour the room temperature egg yolks all at once into the egg whites.
Ladle 1/4 of the egg base into the melted chocolate. Stir until homogeneous. Fold in the balance of the whipped egg mixture.
Divide the batter evenly between 6 cookie sheets. Bake 3 at a time for 8
minutes. Turn, and continue to bake for 3-4 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.

Chocolate Mousse Filling: • 5 egg yolks
• 2 eggs
• 4 ounces sugar
• 24 ounces (24% fat) heavy cream
• 8 ounces milk chocolate
• 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate

Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks are formed.
Over a double boiler, in a medium size mixing bowl, combine the milk chocolate and bittersweet chocolate. Stir until melted and reserve.
Over a double boiler, whip together the yolks, eggs and sugar. When it reaches 110 degrees F., remove from heat.
Fold 1/3 of the egg mixture into the melted chocolate. Fold the balance of the egg mixture until homogeneous. Fold in the heavy cream.

Coffee Syrup: • 4 ounces water
• 4 ounces sugar
• 8 ounces coffee (or espresso)

Combine all ingredients and bring to a boil in a small saucepan. Reserve.
To assemble the cake: Line the presentation tray with a cake layer. Brush with coffee syrup. Top with chocolate mousse. With a metal offset spatula, "schmear" evenly. Continue layering with balance of cake and mousse.
