Ingredients

4 ounces orange-flavored dark chocolate

12 large egg whites

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/4 cups sugar, divided

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon lemon juice

3 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 tablespoon orange rind, grated

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Make sure a 10" x 4" tube pan is clean, dry and free of grease.

Grate the chocolate bars on the fine holes of a cheese grater, NOT a teeny-holed citrus grater.

(Make sure you do find orange-flavored dark chocolate-- it is not very difficult to find, and absolutely essential to the recipe).

Separate the eggs, and let the egg whites come to room temperature; about 15 minutes.

Sift 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the salt onto a piece of waxed paper.

Sift them together a total of three times.

Beat the egg whites until frothy.

Add the lemon juice and continue beating.

Sprinkle the remaining cup of sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, over the egg whites and continue beating at medium speed until the egg whites are glossy and form soft peaks that bend over at the top.

Do not overheat, or the egg whites will lose their volume.

Sift 1/4 cup of the dry ingredients over the egg whites and fold.

Gently stir in the vanilla extract and orange rind.

Alternately fold in the chocolate and remaining dry ingredients, working in small batches, until just incorporated.

Pour the batter into the tube pan and bake for 45 minutes, until the top is lightly browned.

A knife inserted in the center of the cake should come out clean.

Remove from the oven and invert the pan.

Allow the cake to cool for 30 to 45 minutes.

Run a knife around the edges of the pan and tube to loosen the cake.

You can serve this as is, or with a little whipped cream, or ice cream

Aw. I got misty eyed this morning when I heard. Cool Hand Luke. One of my all time favorite films. I'm going to miss him.

Hello ~~~
I have read many "misty-eyed' Memories about
Paul Newman, today on this 'site'...I add mine to all the others...whether we remember 'films' that touched our hearts...or Paul's contribution to charity 'via' his recipes that were put into to food products that were made available to consumers, and then the proceeds given to charities, we must give a 'salute' of gratitude! Thank-you for sharing this "5"FORK!!!!! recipe ~
