Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with a round of wax paper; do not butter the pan.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a bowl set over hot water.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter until melted; set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk the two whole eggs and the 4 egg yolks with 1/2 cup of the sugar just until blended.
- Whisk in the warm chocolate mixture.
- Whisk in the optional cognac or Grand Marnier and the optional orange zest.
- In another bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the 4 egg whites until foamy.
- Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat until the whites form soft mounds that hold their shape, but are not quite stiff.
- Stir about 1/4 of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it; gently fold in the remaining whites.
- Pour the batter into the pan; smooth the top.
- Bake until the top of the cake is puffed and cracked and the center is no longer wobbly, usually 35 to 40 minutes.
- Do not overbake.
- Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack; the cake will sink as it cools, forming a crater with high sides.
- FOR THE WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING: At serving time, whip the cream with the confectioner's sugar and vanilla until not quite stiff.
- With a spatula, carefully fill the crater of the cake with the whipped cream, pushing it gently to the edges.
- Dust the top lightly with cocoa powder.
- Run the tip of a knife around the edges of the cake; carefully remove the sides of the pan and serve.
