Flourless Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

• 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
• 2 sticks (1/2 lb) unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 c sugar
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, with extra for dusting

Process

1. Put a rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 350 degress. Butter a 10-inch springform pan, line bottom with a round of parchment or wax paper, and butter paper.
2. Melt chocolate with butter in a medium metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir until smooth.
3. Remove bowl from heat and whisk in sugar. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Sift cocoa powder over chocolate and whisk until just combined.
4. Pour batter into pan. Bake until top has formed a thin crust and a wooden pick of skewer inserted in center of cake comes out with moist crumbs adhering (about 35-40 minutes).
5. Cool cake in pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then remove side of pan. Invert cake onto a plate and reinvert onto rack to cool completely.
6. Dust cake with cocoa powder before serving. Can be kept in airtight container for three days.
