    List of Ingredients




    Death by Chocolate from Hel


    CAKE:

    * 2 sticks (1/2 lb.) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
    * 1 pound bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
    * 8 large eggs, lightly beaten

    GLAZE:

    * 6 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
    * 6 tablespoons heavy cream

    Recipe




    Make cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 8-inch springform pan.

    Wrap pan bottom in heavy-duty foil. Melt butter and bittersweet chocolate in a large bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Remove bowl, stir to combine and let cool to lukewarm.

    Whisk eggs into chocolate mixture until well-combined.

    Scrape batter into prepared pan. Place springform pan in a roasting pan; pour hot water to 1 inch deep into roasting pan. Bake until cake is set around edges but wobbly in center, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove foil and let cool on a rack.

    Cover with plastic and chill for at least 6 hours and up to 3 days.

    Make glaze: Put milk chocolate in a bowl. Bring cream just to a boil; pour into bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes; whisk until smooth. Cool to room temperature. Remove cake to a platter; spoon on glaze.

    Refrigerate for up to 5 hours. To create spider web, spoon canned vanilla frosting into a ziplock bag; snip off a tiny corner. Pipe straight lines from center of cake to outer edges. Connect lines by piping curved lines in between, creating web pattern. Pipe spider or place a candy spider on web
