Flourless Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:
7 oz. dark (semisweet) chocolate (45-60% cocoa)
3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar, divided in half
4 eggs, separated

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 300ºF.  Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler.  Stir together half a cup of sugar and four egg yolks; add to melted chocolate concoction.

Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites; slowly add remaining half cup of sugar until stiff peaks form.  Fold mixture into chocolate.  Pour into a greased 9-inch cake pan.

Bake 40 minutes, or until a tooth pick inserted in center comes out with just a few crumbs on it.  Cool 30 minutes before removing from pan.  Dust with powdered sugar.

Serving Suggestion:
Serve with ice cream.  Homemade blueberry or black walnut ice cream is especially good with this cake.

History:
I found this recipe in our newspaper's Parade Sunday magazine on Super Bowl Sunday in 2011.
