Flourless Chocolate Cakes
Recipe adapted from Wolfgang Puck's

Ingredients
4 ounces unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, cut into small pieces
5 eggs, separated
Pinch salt
2/3 cup sugar
Powdered sugar, for garnish
Unsweetened whipped cream, for garnish

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour a
10-inch round cake pan.

Combine the butter and chocolate and melt in a double boiler over barely simmering
water. Whisk together the egg yolks, salt, and all but 3 tablespoons of the sugar.
Stir the melted chocolate into the egg yolks until thoroughly combined.

With an electric mixer, on medium speed, beat the egg whites until soft peaks
form. Gradually beat in the remaining sugar and continue to whip until the egg
whites are stiff, but not dry,

Carefully fold the chocolate mixture into the egg whites. Pour into the prepared
pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn out onto a rack immediately. As the cake
cools, the center will sink and crack - do not worry.

Dust the cake with powdered sugar or decorate the top with melted chocolate and

serve with unsweetened whipped cream.
