Ingrid Michaelson's Flourless cake!

So my mom found this recipe that happens to be one of Ingrid Michaelson's favorite chocolate desserts.. and now one of mine too! I made it and It was soo yummy! Curt even agrees and I thought I would share the recipe. It is seriously so easy.


Servings: 12

Ingredients:
7 oz really good (45–50% cocoa) semisweet chocolate
3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar, divided
4 eggs, separated


1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Stir together half the sugar and four yolks; add to melted chocolate concoction.

2. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites; slowly add remaining 1/2 cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold mixture into chocolate. Pour into a greased 9-inch cake pan.

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

Ingrid's Tips:

o “To make individual servings, substitute nine ramekins or small oven-safe coffee cups and bake 30 minutes.”
o ”You’ll need a good 10-speed mixer to beat the egg whites into nice stiff peaks that will make the cake light and fluffy—unlike my first attempt, when I used a very old mixer.”
