  • 1 pound dark chocolate or 2⅔ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup butter unsalted
  • 4 large eggs separated
  • teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon hot water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.

  • In a saucepan set over low heat or in a microwave, melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring till smooth.
  • Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, then add the flour, sugar, and hot water, stirring till smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites till stiff but not dry. Fold them into the chocolate mixture.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes (the cake won't look done in the center).
  • Remove the cake from the oven, leaving it in the pan, and cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Remove the cake from the pan, place it on a plate, and serve topped with sweetened whipped cream.
