- NO. The _ORIGINAL_ Death by Chocolate Cake by Marcel Desaulniers of the Trellis resturaunt is made with a brownie, NOT cake.
- I have made this cake and it is deadly! It makes 12 slices, but even so, you cannot eat a whole slice. If you plan on attempting this, PLEASE! read through ALL of the directions carefully and allow at LEAST 2 days
- (preferably 3) to make this. And make sure it is the ONLY thing you are trying to do at the time.
- Here is the original recipe in all of its chocolate glory (or possibly should I say _gory_):EQUIPMENT: measuring c., measuring spoons, sifter, 9 inch cardboard cake circle, parchment paper, 2 baking sheets, electric mixer with balloon whip, rubber spatula, pastry bag, double boiler, film wrap, 4 stainless steel bowls (1 large), 2 whisks, 9 by 1 1/2 inch cake pan, 12 inch serrated slicer, 2 1/2 qt saucepan, 9 by 3 inch spring form pan, serrated knife, large metal spoon, cake spatula, large star tip
- METHOD:Preheat the oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Using a 9 inch cake circle as a guide, trace a circle with a pencil on a sheet of parchment paper cut to fit a baking sheet. Turn the paper over and, with trace mark down, place on a baking sheet.
- TO PREPARE THE COCOA MERINGUE, place 4 egg whites, the cream of tartar, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a balloon whip.. Whisk on high till soft peaks form, about 45 to 50 seconds. Gradually add in 1 c. sugar while continuing to whisk on high. Whisk till stiff, about 1 1/2 min. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber spatula to mix in and thoroughly combine the remaining 1/4 c. sugar, 2 Tbsp. cocoa and the cornstarch. Fill a pastry bag (with no tip) with the cocoa meringue.
- Fill the traced parchment circle with meringue: start in the center and pipe a 3/4-inch wide spiral towards the outside of the circle.
- Place the meringue in the preheated oven and bake for 15 min. Lower the oven temperature to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 2 hrs and 45 min. Remove from the oven and allow to cold for 45 min before handling. Raise oven temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- WHILE THE MERINGUE IS BAKING, PREPARE THE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE. Heat 1 inch of water in the bottom half of a double boiler over medium heat. Place 6 ounces semisweet chocolate in the top half of the double boiler. Tightly cover the top with film wrap. Allow the chocolate to heat slowly, about 9 to 10 min. Remove from heat and stir till smooth. Keep at room temperature till needed.
