Here is the cake unfrosted:
Here are the ingredients:
6 whole eggs
20 oz of chocolate chips(bitter-sweet)
1T of vanilla extract
1/2 lb of butter
Yes! That is all there is in this cake. What you do is you first get your eggs to room temperature, fresh eggs are the best of course. Whip them to stiff peaks, and yes it's possible; it just takes time. While that is whipping melt the chocolate chips and butter together, I have to say this is probably the only thing we use a microwave for. Add the vanilla to the chip/butter mixture and mix it all till that is smooth. Fold the chocolate mixture into the eggs carefully. Then pour into a spring-form pan and bake at 350 degrees (pre-heated) until the surface cracks. Cool thoughly before eating or frosting, it does tend to be crumbly and a tad rich.
This is the cake frosted with real butter creme:
Please also note there is no ADDED sugar to this either, so it's fairly safe for a diabetic who is eating properly. But please, do not take my word for it other than the fact that Silver is a diabetic, and he eats this cake.
I hope you all try this cake out it's heavanly!
I'm not sure it was the same recipe but I made one of these a few years ago. It was "To Die For!!" Thanks for reminding me that I should make it again sometime.
