Valentines Day Flourless Chocolate Cake Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup Water

1-1/3 cups Sugar

8 ounces Unsweetened chocolate (fine chopped)

4 ounces Semisweet chocolate (fine chopped)

1 cup Unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)

5 to 6 Extra-large eggs

Whipped cream for topping

Cooking Directions

Preheat the oven to 175°C. Butter a large round cake pan and line it with a round of parchment paper of the same size. Mix water and 1 cup sugar in a heavy saucepan. Boil the mixture for about 4 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and immediately add the chocolate pieces. Keep on stirring them until they are melted and smooth. The mixture might stiffen but will loosen up after addition of butter. Stir the mixture after adding the butter until all of it is used. Take an electric mixture and put the remaining sugar and eggs into it. Beat the mixture at high speed for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, turn the mixer down to low. Add the chocolate mixture, stirring until it is fully incorporated. Remember not to over beat as air bubbles will form. Now spoon and graze the mixture into the prepared cake pan. Set the pan in a slightly larger baking pan and put boiling water around it. Do not allow the sides of the pans to touch. Put the cake in the oven and bake it for about 25 minutes. Place in a sharp knife into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done. In case it does not come out clean, bake for another 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the water bath and instantly unfold it onto a cookie sheet. Remove the parchment paper. Invert a serving plate over the cake and turn it right-side-up onto the serving plate.

Note: Do not bake the cake for more than 35 minutes.
