Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound bittersweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
1 stick unsalted butter*
9 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
2 cups heavy cream, cold
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Put the chocolate and butter into the top of a double boiler (or in a heatproof bowl) and heat over (but not touching) about 1 inch of simmering water until melted. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar in a mixing bowl until light yellow in color. Whisk a little of the chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs - this will keep the eggs from scrambling from the heat of the chocolate - then whisk in the rest of the chocolate mixture.
  • Beat the egg whites in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form and fold into the chocolate mixture. Pour into the prepared pan and bake until the cake is set, the top starts to crack and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it, 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes, then remove sides of pan.
  • While the cake is cooking, whip the cream until it becomes light and fluffy.
  • Serve at room temperature dusted with confectioners' sugar and topped with whipped cream.

This cake was a complete disaster. It didn't rise properly and it was way too sweet.

I didn't like the texture of this cake. It was too crumbly.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, airier chocolate cake.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as well as the pictures. It was still good, but it wasn't as impressive.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate cake, but this one was really good. It was light and airy, and the chocolate flavor wasn't too overpowering.

This cake is definitely not for the faint of heart. It's very rich and chocolatey, but in a good way.

I love the way the chocolate ganache seeps into the cracks in the cake. It makes it look so elegant.
