I wanted to make something special for Mrs. seat of her Pants this Valentine’s day, not just your run-of-the-mill dessert. I must have hit every site on Google before I stumbled on this recipe. I was looking for a way to use up some of the Sherry or Sweet Marsala we have lying about, but this just looked so decadent that I had to do it. Ingredients:
4 ounces butter |
1/2 cup port wine |
5 ounces unsweetened chocolate |
1 cup granulated sugar |
3 eggs, separated |
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour one 9 or 10-inch cake pan. Melt butter and chocolate together in small saucepan. Add wine in quarters, stirring slowly until last addition is thoroughly incorporated before adding the next quarter. (If you go too fast it will break!)
2. Combine sugar and egg yolks in bowl and mix on medium speed until pale yellow in color. Add melted chocolate slowly and beat until smooth. Add flour and beat on medium speed for 1 minute. In another bowl, beat egg whites on high until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in 1/3 of chocolate mixture into egg whites. Fold in remaining chocolate carefully. Pour into cake pan and bake for 30 minutes.
