Flourless Choclate Cake

[Auntie Lurlynn]

This chocolate cake recipe is the best and you can get everything at a "regular" grocery store

8oz. of semi-sweet or bitter-sweet baking chocolate

2/3 cup of crushed almonds

1 stick of butter

5 eggs, seperated

2/3 cup of sugar

1. Seperate the eggs, put the whites in a med. bowl and the yolks in a large bowl.

2. Beat the egg whites till stiff peaks form. Combine sugar and yolks; using same beaters, beat till creamy and pale yellow, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

3. Melt butter and chocolate in the top of a double boiler* stirring constantly till both are combined and melted; take off heat and add almonds.

4. Temper** the yolk mixture with the chocolate mixture, then fully combine. Folk in egg whites.

5. Pour mixture into a greased spring-form pan. Bake in a 350F degree oven for 20 minutes, or until middle springs back when you touch it.

6. Let cool for a few minutes, then remove sides of the spring-form pan. Enjoy!

*I don't have a double boiler at home. I use a sauce pan over low heat or I get my boiler and put a little water in it, then I get my small boiler(I think it will hold 1/2 a gal.??) and melt the choc. and butter in it.

**You take a little bit of the choc. mixture and add it to the yolk mixture, stirring it in. You do this with about 2/3 of the choc mixture. The reason you do this is so you won't cook the eggs. Scrambled eggs and cake don't go goood together

PS. My mom got this recipe from a magizine, but I don't remeber which one.
