Flourless chocolate cake

I made a cake today! I really wanted to try out the recipe. It was really simple. It used up five eggs that I needed to be used up, so if you are looking for a recipe to empty your egg supply, this is it. I don't have any pictures yet, but I will try to make another cake and take MANY photos.


So here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

Cake:

• 2 and 1/4 cups bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (12  ounces or 340 g)
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into six pieces; more for the pan (6 ounces or 170 g)
• 5  large eggs
• 1  cup granulated sugar (250 g)
• 1 1/2  teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/4  teaspoon table salt
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/4 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder, sifted if lumpy; more for the pan (3/4  ounce or 21 g)

Glaze:

• 3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (4  ounces or 113 g)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 and 1/2  ounces or 43 g)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 356 degrees F or 180 degrees C. Lightly butter the cake pan and dust it with cocoa powder.
2. Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave on high heat and stir every 30 seconds until smooth and let cool.
3. Combine the eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt and water for 2 minutes on medium high until pale, foamy and double in volume.
4. Slowly blend in the chocolate mixture. Add the cocoa powder and mix on medium low just until blended.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Let cool in pan for 30 minutes. Transfer to a cake plate and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
7. To make the glaze, melt the chocolate and butter until smooth. Pour it over the cake and smooth it out. Let the glaze set in the refrigerator from 20 to 40 minutes.
8. Before serving, let the cake come to room temperature.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!
