The World’s Second Best Chocolate Cake

From Anthony (Admin)

Many years ago I tasted a chocolate cake that was absolutely the best cake I had ever tasted.  I got the recipe and would make it often.  Unfortunatley, I’ve misplaced the recipe!  This one is a close second.

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients:

250g of chocolate

200g of butter

8 eggs, separated

200g of sugar

40g of flour

Directions:

Heat oven to 350F.

Butter a 20cm non-stick cake pan.  Line bottom with parchment.

Melt butter and chocolate together.  Let cool.

Add the egg yolks and sugar, then the flour.

Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks.  Gently fold the whites into the chocolate mix.

Pour batter into cake pan and level.  Bake for 40 minutes.  Cake is done when a steak knife inserted into the center comes out slightly streaked.
