Ingredients

How to make it

  • Place rack in top third of oven and heat to 400 degrees. (For best results, use a separate oven thermometer.)
  • Butter a 9-inch springform pan and set aside. Original recipe calls for a loaf pan
  • In a double boiler or microwave oven, melt together 8½ ounces butter and the chocolate.
  • Stir to blend.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together egg yolks and sugar.
  • Stir in flour.
  • Add chocolate mixture and stir until smooth.
  • Using an electric mixer, whisk egg whites and salt until stiff but not dry.
  • Fold whites into chocolate mixture just until blended. Pour into cake pan.
  • Bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove cake from oven and allow to cool for 1 hour.
  • Wrap with foil and refrigerate until cake is firm and cold, at least 2 hours.
  • Two hours before serving, remove cake from refrigerator and bring to room temperature.
  • Slice (center of cake will be fudgy) and serve, if desired, with whipped cream and strawberries or rasberries (optional)
  • Optional: ganache on top

    HUMMM, I THINK THIS RECIPE CALLS FOR FLOUR. PLEASE READ AGAIN. AS I AM FROM GERMANY I AM WELL AWARE OF WHAT A TORTE IS. I BELIEVE IN NAMING ANYTHING I WANT AS I WISH. SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. SO LETS CALL THIS ANOTHR CHOCOLATE SOUFFLE CAKE!

    This sounds great, but it's definitely NOT a cake. Here in Europe we define this as a Torte, which means it contains (usually) many eggs and (always) no flour. A cake will always contain flour. This recipe is very similar to a British pudding recipe I know, the only difference being it is baked and not steamed.
