Categories     dessert

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound chocolate with a cocoa-solids content of at least 70 percent
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
6 eggs, preferably organic

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425. Generously grease a 10-inch springform cake pan and line with baking parchment.
  • Break the chocolate into pieces and melt with the butter in a bowl over simmering water.
  • In a separate bowl over simmering water, beat the eggs until they start to thicken. Remove from heat and beat about 4 or 5 more minutes. Fold half the eggs into the melted chocolate, then fold in the remainder. Pour the batter into the pan and cover with buttered foil.
  • Place in a bain-marie of very hot water. It is essential, if the cake is to cook evenly, that the water comes halfway up the side of the cake pan.
  • Bake for five minutes, remove the foil and bake for 10 minutes longer until just set. Remove from the water and cool in the pan. Unmold when completely cool.

Time 31m

Yield 1 9 inch round cake, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup cold water or 1 cup brewed coffee
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons vinegar
1/2 lb bittersweet chocolate
3/4 cup hot water or 3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and sugar into an ungreased 8 inch square or 9 inch round baking tin.
  • In a 2 cup measuring cup, measure and mix the oil, water or coffee and vanilla.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients into the baking tin and mix the batter with a fork or small whisk.
