- Serves:
-
12-16
ingredients
- 1 1⁄4 cups sugar
- 9 egg yolks
- 1 1⁄8 cups unsalted butter
- 10 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 5 egg whites
- 1 cup shaved semisweet chocolate
directions
- Butter the bottom only of a round 8 inch pan. Set oven rack in center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- With electric beaters, slowly beat sugar and yolks for 3 to 4 minutes. It is important to dissolve the sugar completely.
- Melt the butter and cool. In the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water, melt the chocolate (or microwave, uncovered, on Medium, stirring every 20 to 30 seconds after the first 2 1/2 minutes, until only a small solid chunk of remains). Remove from heat and stir until smooth and cooled.
- Cream the melted butter into the yolk-sugar mixture. Then stir in the melted chocolate.
- Beat the egg whites to soft peaks. With a big rubber spatula, fold 1/4 of the whites into the chocolate batter, then gently fold in the remaining whites, using wide strokes, until no white lumps remain.
- Put 2/3 of the batter into the buttered pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Refridgerate the remaining batter.
- Remove cake from oven and cool in pan 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen. Invert onto platter or cake pedestal.
- Frost with remaining batter by spreading most of it evenly all over the cake, then you can pipe decorations around rim and top (you can use a ziplock baggie,fill,then snip off a corner of bag to use as a decorators bag). Sprinkle all over with shaved chocolate.
- To Cut: Cut into wedges, using a knife dipped into hot water, then wiped dry.
- 12-16 servings.

<p>Greatest of all, I am a Mom! The true miracle in my life so far is my beautiful daughter, Emily Rose. She is the joy of my life. My husband and I were blessed after nine years of marriage to finally be able to have her. I am also an artist. I love to paint with acrylics and I also use colored pencils. Perfectionist is my middle name. I am passionate about cooking. I love to cook for my daughter (who at almost three years old is not the easiest to please at the moment) and my husband, Tim. I have been more excited about cooking since discovering Recipezaar. It makes cooking and shopping for the ingredients easier. I just started adding some of my favorite recipes to the site and can't wait to see if anyone tries them. Keeping my fingers crossed that I get "good" reviews. <br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" /></p>
