OTHER CAKES: This is a version of the flourless chocolate cake that is very rich, but delicious all the same.

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE:

 

 

 

1 lb semi-sweet chocolate pieces                                

8oz unsalted butter

6 eggs

 

 

 

 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch baking pan and line it with waxed paper cut to fit.

 

Melt chocolate and butter in a bowl over simmering water. Allow to cool.  Place eggs in a large bowl over simmering water, making sure bottom of bowl does not touch water. Beat eggs with hand-held electric beater until very thick. Fold in cooled chocolate mixture.

 

Pour batter into prepared pan. Transfer pan to a large baking pan filled with boiling water coming half way up the sides of pan. Bake 20 minutes.

 

Remove baking pan from oven; but leave cake in water bath until cold.  Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours, before serving.
