Flourless Chocolate Cake

[khyricat]

My sisters friend in elementary school was allergic to wheat (maybe celiac many years ago) and his mom came up with this recipe which we love to use during passover and I think I'm going ot start using year round as a cake recipe...

12 eggs seperated

12 oz chocolate (iuf using bitter or semisweet- add sugar to taste, I don't like it really sweet so oftne use semi sweet chocolate and no sugar)

preheat oven to 300

set up springform (best pan to get it out of in one piece)

beat egg whites until VERY stiff

melt chocolate and gently fold into egg whites (you can fold yolks into chocolate if you need the extra protein and don't mind the cholesterol- I can't have the cholesterol so have proven it works without it over the years)

pour into springform and bake 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean

typically I ice with chocolate mousse.. but it works well with nothing even
