Tablespoon cool water
Instructions
For the Cake:
- Preheat
the oven to 350 F. Lightly grease 9 or 10 inch springform and line the
bottom with parchment paper. The cake should be baked in a water bath so
the edges don’t dry out (wrap the springform pan in two layers of aluminum
foil and place it in larger pan with about 1-1/2 inches of hot water).
- Melt
10 oz. high-quality semisweet chocolate on low heat over a double boiler
or in the microwave.
- Place
egg whites in a large bowl with about a third of the sugar and beating on
low speed. Gradually increase the speed and beat until the mixture begin
to look fluffy, then add the remaining sugar, salt and vanilla. Continue
beating until all sugar is dissolved and the meringue looks shiny (nearly
soft-peak stage).
- Using
a whisk stir softened butter into the melted chocolate until it’s
combined, then whisk in the egg yolks. Add half of the meringue into the
chocolate mixture and whisk gently, then with a spatula fold in the
remaining meringue (keep in mind to mix in well the heavier batter at the
bottom of the bowl)
- Pour
the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 26-28 minutes (Until the
toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean).
- When
you remove the cake from the oven first let it cool to room temperature
and then refrigerate it for 1 hour(cooled cake will sink a little and lose
some volume). Take it out the fridge and run a knife around the edge of
the pan, unlock the ring from the springform pan, take it off and invert
the cake onto a serving plate. Remove the bottom of the pan and parchment
paper then place back the ring from the springform around the cake to use
it as a mold for the chocolate mousses.
