I think that this is the first cake I have ever posted in the years
here, as this old lactose intolerant, diabetic, geezer(read weirdo,
Joy)does not do much of this stuff
But here it is, for you two guys, Ex rated Doc, and not rated Howard!
And all & sundry!
Chocolate Cake(no flour)
1 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup STRONG coffee
8 ozs bittersweet chocolate chips
3 eggs, divorced
1 tbls GOOD chile powder, Calvin's or Jim's but not his smoked stuff,
save that for Byron!!! Yuk yuk!
Preheat oven to 325F. Butter an 8 inch springform pan, and line it with
parchment paper. Melt butter with sugar and coffee over low heat, unti
sugar disolves. Add the chocolate chips and the chile powder, and stir
until smooth. Remove from heat, and when a little cooler, whisk in egg
yolks.(The whites will either cheer, or go boo hoo) Beat those bad egg
whites until they cry and go a little frothy. Add 1 tbls of sugar, and
beat until glossy. That should teach them to cheer. Stir one third of
the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the remaining
egg whites, and spoon into the prepared springform pan. Place pan on a
cookie sheet, and bake for about an hour, until edges pull away from the
sides,
the center will not be set, but it will set while it cools. Refrigerate
over night, and serve with COOL whip, if for me, or Whipped Cream, for
others! This is a much better one than yours, Tomas Doc, much better for
the arterial driveways! Cheers, Doug in BC
