An absolutely wonderful cake; most traditionally served without icing. If you're including kids, might want to add your favorite, but I love it the "old school" way!
Ingredientes
- 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, preferably Lindt broken into pieces
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs, separated
- About 2 teaspoons confectioner's sugar, for decoration
Direcciones
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Butter a 9 1/2-inch pan or deep, non-stick cake pan
- Combine the chocolate, butter and granulated sugar in the top of a double boiler placed over simmering water
- Melt over medium heat, stirring until the ingredients are thoroughly blended. Set the mixture aside to cool.
- Whisk the egg yolks into the chocolate.
- Beat the egg whites in a large bowl just until they form peaks; do not over-beat
- Add one-third of the egg whites to the chocolate batter and mix vigorously.
- Gently fold in the remaining whites. Do this slowly and patiently. Do not over mix, but be sure that the mixture is well blended and that no streaks of whites remain
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the cake if firm and springy, 35-40 min
- Cool on a rack for several hours before unmolding
- The cake is traditionally served without icing

We cooked this recipe last night for a group of friends. It was a unanimous big hit! Yummy flourless chocolate texture and flavor and easy to make. We served it with Vanilla and Coffee ice cream. Also, my wife cut out some letters with paper and sprinkled it with powdered sugar so the letters were visible as brown on white. Very cute and easy to do! Thanks Ali!Yo he cocinado/probado esta recetaEsta es una variación2 people like this review

I cooked this one tonight and it came out great -- everyone loved it. A note of caution: the cake is very fragile, so be careful when flipping it onto the cooling rack, and don't try to use a spatula to move it. Cake easily separated from my nonstick cake pan (didn't need to use a two piece cake pan). I'll definitely be making this one again.Yo he cocinado/probado esta receta

This sounds soooo good! Do you think this would do well with a thin glaze?
