This is a very rich moist chocolate cake. I have made it many times. It is the last birthday cake my father requested before he passed away in 1999. I think it is a Bakers Chocolate recipe Ingredients:
6 (1 ounce) semi-sweet chocolate baking squares |
3/4 cup butter |
2/3 cup granulated sugar |
4 egg yolks |
1/3 cup all-purpose flour |
4 egg whites |
2 tablespoons granulated sugar |
4 (1 ounce) semi-sweet chocolate baking squares |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons water |
1 (1 ounce) semi-sweet chocolate baking square |
Directions:
1. Melt chocolate with butter.
2. Cool.
3. Beat 2/3 Cup of sugar with egg yolks till thick and lemon coloured.
4. Add Chocolate mixture and flour. blend well.
5. Beat egg whites till soft peaks form. Add 2 Tbsp sugar and beat till stiff and shiny peaks form.
6. Fold Chocolate mixture into egg whites. Blend well.
7. Pour into greased and floured 9 springform pan.
8. Bake at 375 for 35 - 40 minute.
9. Cake will be moist in centre.
10. Cool.
11. Cake will fall in centre.
12. Glaze:.
13. Melt chocolate with butter and water.
14. Blend until smooth.
15. Spread over cake.
16. Garnish:.
17. Melt chocolate. Put in Sandwich bag and cut a very small hole in 1 corner. Decorate cake with con centric circles. Starting at the centre draw a knife lightly (do not cut cake) through circles to outside edge. This will create a pattern similar to spider web.
