      Title: Fudgy Flourless Chocolate Cake
 Categories: Cakes, Chocolate
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      7 tb Unsalted butter
      9 oz Semisweet chocolate;
           - finely chopped
      7 lg Eggs; separated
    1/3 c  Sugar
           Whipped cream; for garnish
 
  Preparation time: 30 minutes
  Baking time: 60 to 70 minutes
  Chilling time: Several hours or overnight

  Generously coat 8" round by 3" deep cake pan or springform pan
  using 1 tb butter. Dust pan with flour; refrigerate until needed.

  Put chocolate and remaining 6 tb butter into top of double boiler
  set over simmering water. Cook and stir until well mixed and
  melted.

  Mix egg yolks in small bowl; add a little of the warm chocolate;
  stir well. Scrape mixture into remaining chocolate and stir well;
  then set aside in warm place, uncovered.

  Heat oven to 250 F. Beat egg whites and salt in large mixer bowl
  until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar, 1 ts at a time, until stiff
  and glossy, but not dry.

  Scrape chocolate mixture over egg whites; fold together carefully
  but thoroughly. Spoon batter into pan.

  Bake until center is set but still wiggles, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool
  on wire racks 10 minutes. As it begins to cool, cake will pull away
  from side of pan. Remove sides of springform or, if using ordinary
  cake pan, invert cake onto serving plate to cool. Cool completely.
  Refrigerate until cold.

  Cut cake in wedges. Serve each wedge topped with a large dollop of
  whipped cream.
