Ingredients
7 ounces/200 g chopped semisweet dark chocolate
3.5 ounces/100 g butter
3.5 ounces/100 g sugar
4 eggs
Salt
Icing (confectioners') sugar, for sprinkling
Sugar pearls, for decorating
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the chocolate and butter in a stainless steel bowl. Rest the bowl over a pot of simmering water, with the bottom of the bowl not touching the water. Stir until melted.
- In another bowl separate the eggs. Add the sugar to the egg yolks and whisk until a light cream color. Add salt to the egg whites and whisk until fluffy.
- Slowly drizzle the melted chocolate to the yolk mixture and mix to incorporate. Slowly fold in the egg whites, a little at a time.
- Grease a baking tray or cake mold and pour in the mixture. Bake approximately 25 minutes. Plate the cake and sprinkle with icing (confectioners') sugar and garnish with sugar pearls.
