Flourless Chocolate Cake

maybe not the most appetizing photo but, in fact, very tasty



This cake is very rich and silken in texture, almost custardy, dense and moist.  It may not be for everyone because it's a tad jiggly but it's quite good with some vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients:
10 oz semisweet chocolate chopped
7 oz of butter
1 cup sugar
5 eggs

1. preheat oven to 350
2. beat the eggs and the sugar and set aside
3. melt chocolate and butter in a double broiler 
4. whisk in chocolate mixture into the sugar/egg mixture
5. grease a nine inch spring-form cake pan and then coat with cocoa powder
6. pour batter into cake pan
7. place the cake pan in a roasting pan and fill the roasting pan about half way with water
8. cover tightly with foil and bake in oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes
9. it will be very jiggly out of the oven but will harden up once you let it cool
