Ingredients 

for 6 servings 

·        4 eggs, whites and yolks separated 

·        255 g oz semi-sweet chocolate 

·        *1 tsp vanilla (optional) 

Preparation 

1. Preheat the oven to 170˚C. 

2. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt completely, about 1 minute. 

3. Separate the egg yolks and egg whites. Using a hand mixer, whisk the whites until soft peaks form. 

4. Add the yolks, one by one, into the bowl of chocolate, whisking to combine. 

5. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold ⅓ of the whipped egg whites into the yolk and chocolate mixture. Repeat with the remaining egg whites, adding ⅓ at a time. 

6. Pour the batter in a greased 6-inch cake mold. 

7. Bake for 30 minutes. 

8. Once the cake is cool to the touch, gently invert it onto a plate. 

9. Optional: Sprinkle with powdered sugar, slice and serve top with ice cream. Serve with fresh fruit.
