Ingredients

    12 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
    1/2 c butter
    Melt these together over a double boiler until smooth; allow to cool

    8 eggs, separated
    2/3c sugar, separated into 1/3 c measures

Tips

* We had the benefit of some non-stick silicone molds, but a buttered or sprayed ceramic ramekin will work just fine. You can also do this as one big cake, but it comes out better in little individual cakes IMHO.


Directions

In a mixer, start whipping the egg yolks. Gradually add 1/3 c sugar until it's pale yellow, fluffy and about 3x the original volume.

In a separate bowl/ mixer, whip the egg whites and gradually add the other 1/3 c sugar until you have a soft-peak meringue.

Add the melted chocolate to the egg yolk mixture, folding until combined. Add in the egg whites in 2 "batches" until smooth. Divide between 24 ramekins or other small (2 oz) containers*. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until a toothpick is clean when inserted in the cake. LEAVE ROOM FOR THE CAKE TO RISE. Egg whites are sneaky like that.

We serve it with a little whipped cream and some berry coulis.
