SERVINGS: 16

CATEGORY: Dessert

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 20 min. + standing Bake: 40 min. + cooling

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 10 tablespoons butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 6 squares (1 ounce each) semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 3 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup finely ground pecans, toasted
  • Chocolate Ganache (recipe also in Recipe Finder), optional
  • Sliced strawberries and fresh mint, optional

Directions:

Let eggs stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a heavy saucepan, melt butter, 1/4 cup sugar and chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly. Cool until mixture is lukewarm. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored, about 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Gradually beat in pecans and chocolate mixture. In a small bowl and with clean beaters, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Stir a small amount of whites into chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining whites.
    Pour into a greased 9-in. springform pan. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; remove sides of pan and cool completely. Frost with Chocolate Ganache if desired. Garnish with strawberries and mint if desired. Yield: 16 servings.

    I have made this cake several times and it is now my Madie's fav. Each time it seems to turn out better and better. I have no idea what is up with that. It is to die for!
