Flourless Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

• ½ cup white granulated sugar
• 4 eggs
• ¾ cup unsalted butter
• ¾ cup chocolate

Steps

1. Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl set above another pan of simmering water, or use a double boiler.
2. Lightly whisk the chocolate mix until smooth.
3. Then remove from heat and allow to cool, whilst still stirring.
4. Beat the eggs and sugar in a bowl until the mixture is creamy.
5. Gradually mix in the melted chocolate along with any other variants (see below).
6. Pour the mixture into a mould (baking tray or 8 individual moulds).
7. Cover the moulds with aluminium foil.
8. Place the moulds in a deeper baking tray.
9. Pour boiling water into the deep baking tray at a depth that is half that of the moulds.
10. Bake for approximately 30 minutes in a preheated oven at gas mark 2 (300°F or 150°C).
11. Insert a skewer to check if ready: if the skewer comes out clean, then it is ready.
12. Remove from the oven.
13. Allow to cool at room temperature.
14. Cool for approximately 10 hours in a fridge.
15. Remove from the mould.
16. Place on a plate.
