Preparation time 30 minutes. Cook Time 1 hour and 15 minutes
Preheat oven to 177 degrees C, 350 F
Ingredients
-
1/2 pound butter, in small chunks
-
12 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
-
1 cup sugar

6 eggs
Method
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Line the bottom of a 9" round pan with parchment paper and butter the bottom and sides.
-
Combine the butter and chocolate in a double boiler. Cook until melted.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and the eggs.
-
Whisk in the melted chocolate to the sugar and eggs.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, and place this cake pan into a water bath, with warm water reaching about half-way up the sides.
-
Cover tightly with foil. (I forgot this step and ended up with a bit of a crust.)
-
Bake in the oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the cake appears set and your finger comes away clean when you touch the center.
-
Remove from oven and water bath and let cool completely.
