chocolate decadence
In honor of Allan. I'm sure I've posted this somewhere else before, but I want to torture you people with it. It's incredibly easy, very pretty, and another one of those things you should probably keep insulin around for, just in case.
1 lb. semi-sweet chocolate - the very best you can afford
4 eggs, separated
5 oz. butter
1 Tbs. flour
1 Tbs. sugar
pinch salt
Preheat oven to 425F. Use an oven thermometer to be sure.
Melt chocolate and butter. Lightly beat egg yolks and stir into the slightly cooled chocolate. Add flour and mix well. Whip eggs whites and fold into chocolate. Pour into greased cake pan and bake 16 minutes EXACTLY. Cake will NOT look done when removed from oven. Cool in refrigerator until completely solid, then remove from pan.
Serve with unsweetened fresh whipped cream, and by god have coffee with this to cut the richness.

dammit cathy, i just gained 3 pounds reading the recipe. may have to hold off actually making until my blood sugar returns to normal.
If you need me, I will be lying over here in a coma.
