If I were to serve just one chocolate
dessert at a dinner party, this would be it. It's easy to make, can be made
early in the day and even freezes well.
Dressing it up, the possibilities are endless. A fresh raspberry sauce if in
season with a dollop of whipped cream is divine. Or maybe a dip of your favorite
ice cream with chocolate sauce and toasted pecans.
Chocolate Decadence is for the true chocolate lover in your life.
Enjoy!
Chocolate Decadence
1 pound dark chocolate
5 ounces butter
Melt butter and add chocolate. Chocolate chips will also work in this recipe.
4 eggs
1 T. sugar
1 T. flour
Beat eggs with sugar until sugar is dissolved and eggs have tripled in volume.
This will take about 8-10 minutes. Fold in the flour. Add chocolate mix. Fold
this in, trying not to lose the volume created when you beat the eggs. (Note:
add 1/4 of the egg mixture to the chocolate and stir it in. Then lightly fold
the remaining egg mixture into the chocolate.)
Prepare a 9 inch pan by cutting a round of wax paper to fit in the bottom of the
pan. Grease lightly and fit paper on bottom of pan. Pour batter into pan and
bake at 425°F. for 15 minutes. Center will be just beginning to set. Let cool
completely in pan.
To serve remove from pan and remove wax paper. Place cake on serving dish. Top
with chocolate sauce, whipped cream and chocolate shavings after cutting, if
doing individual servings. Otherwise, I would top with the chocolate shavings
and serve the chocolate sauce and whipped cream on the side.
