Happy Birthday Jeff-Jeff (a few days ago). In honor of your birthday we had this delicious flourless chocolate cake. It was absolutely fantastic and we'll have to make it next time we're in the same state.
7 oz really good semisweet chocolate
3/4 C butter
1 C sugar, divided
4 eggs, separated
Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler.
Stir together 1/2 C sugar and four egg yolks. Add to the chocolate.
Using an electric mixer, beat the four egg whites. Slowly add the remaining 1/2 C sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the chocolate. Pour into a greased 9-inch pan (I used a 9-inch springform).
Bake 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs on it. Cool 30 minutes before removing from pan. Dust with powdered sugar.
Original recipe in the parade magazine Feb 2011.
And the little boy as a treat for grandparents:

ReplyDeleteAlso we miss you guys! Loved having fingers crunched upon by baby...
Also when you have a chance could you email some photos you took? I realized when I got back that I didn't take hardly any.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making the cake for me girl-girl, but you forgot to box it up and mail it to me, how silly of you.
