Flourless Chocolate Cake
(adapted from epicurious.com)

ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (I used Scharffen Berger)
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder plus additional for sprinkling
directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and butter an 8-inch round baking pan. Line bottom with a round of wax paper and butter paper.
  2. Chop chocolate into small pieces. In a double boiler, melt the butter first then chocolate, stirring, until smooth. 
  3. Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat and whisk sugar into chocolate mixture. Add eggs and whisk well. 
  4. Sift 1/2 cup cocoa powder over chocolate mixture and whisk until just combined. 
  5. Pour batter into pan and bake in middle of oven 25 minutes, or until top has formed a thin crust. Cool cake in pan on a rack 5 minutes and invert onto a serving plate.
