How to make Nigella Lawson's Flourless Chocolate Cake Part One




















Ingredients:

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, minimum 70% cocoa solids

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

6 eggs: 2 whole, 4 separated

3/4 cup superfine sugar

grated zest of 1 orange (optional)

9 inch springform cake pan

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

2. Line the bottom of the cake pan with baking parchment. Cut away any excess paper otherwise it'll smoke in the oven and the smell is gross.

3. Melt the chocolate either in a double boiler or a microwave, add orange zest and then let the butter melt in the warm chocolate.
