1 Cake
- Serves:
- 10-12
ingredients
- 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 6 large eggs, room temp
- 1 1⁄2 cups granulated sugar
- powdered sugar or cocoa powder, for dusting
directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9 by 2-inch spring form pan.
- Put the chocolate, butter, and salt in a large microwave safe bowl. Melt in the microwave on 75 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir and microwave again until completely melted, about 2 minutes more. Alternatively, put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan without touching the water. Stir occasionally until melted.
- Beat the eggs and sugar with a standing or handheld mixer until light and thickened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped eggs until evenly combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out wet but not gooey, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. Remove cake from the oven and cool on a rack.
- When ready to serve remove ring from spring form mold. Dust cake with confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
