Ingredients
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate (not bittersweet)
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup cocoa powder (not drink mix)
- 1 teaspoon very finely ground black ppepper
- 1 pinch salt 
 
This flourless chocolate cake is dense, rich, delicious--and very easy to make.
 
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare pan; grease bottom and sides of pan. Cut a circle of waxed
    paper or foil to fit bottom of pan and grease it.
  • Coarsely chop chocolate. Melt chocolate and
    butter over simmering water or in microwave. Stir sugar into chocolate. Vigorously beat eggs, one
    at a time, into chocolate. Add cocoa, salt and pepper, and stir in.
  • Scrape batter into prepared
    pan and bake until top looks dry rather than shiny, about 40 minutes. Center will not be quite
    set.
  • Cool 10 - 15 minutes, run a knife around edge to loosen, and invert on a plate.

Remove paper or foil from bottom and finish cooling. To develop flavor and texture, wrap snugly in
plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours, up to several days. Needs no frosting, but serve, if
you wish, with whipped cream.
  • TIP: To cut an accurate liner for the pan
    bottom, trace around the outside of the pan directly onto the lining paper. Cut out and press onto
    the greased pan, pressing firmly into the area where the sides and bottom meet.
