THAT CHOCOLATE CAKE

14 oz dark semi-sweet chocolate
3 tbsp cold water
12 eggs, separated
2 cups granulated sugar
3-1/2 sticks sweet butter, very soft, but not melted
1 cup flour

Preheat over to 325 degrees. Butter and sugar a 10" springform pan.
Melt chocolate with the water in the top of a double boiler; cool slightly.
Beat egg yolks with sugar until thick, pale yellow, and fall in a ribbon from the beaters.
Fold in warm chocolate. Stir in soft butter. Fold in flour and mix thoroughly but gently.

Beat egg whites stiff.
Stir a large spoonful of the chocolate mixture into the egg whites; mix well. Fold this mixture into the rest of the chocolate mixture gently, being careful not to over mix.

Pour batter into springform pan. Bake 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until cake test done in the center.
Cool for 15 minutes and remove outer rim of pan. Cool completely before removing bottom of pan. Store in the refrigerator. Freezes well.

I call this "That Chocolate Cake" because after I took it to work for a potluck, I was always asked, "Are you going to bring that chocolate cake?" whenever we had another potluck.

Oohh.. I love chocolate!.. Please, What is a stick of butter? How many grams?.. large eggs size?.. so I might need to double egg amount for Silkie eggs? Self raising or plain flour? ..Thanks!!

 

[casportpony]

How many grams?.

1 stick = 1/4 pound = 4 ounces = 113.4 grams

 

[casportpony]

3-1/2 sticks sweet butter = 14 ounces = 397 grams

I have a note in my recipe to use extra large eggs. I didn't have chickens at the time and always bought jumbo. Jumbo are too big and overfill my pan. Plain flour. A stick of butter is 114 grams, so 399 grams of butter.

This cake is RIIIICCCCHHHH! I used to cut it in wedges, and people would eat half a piece and throw the rest away!! So now I cut it into small chunks. It's about as dense as fudge and doesn't need any frosting. It also freezes well. Enjoy!
