Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:



7 oz Bittersweet chocolate
-OR- semisweet chocolate,
- broken into small pieces
1/4 lb Unsalted butter; PLUS:
1 ts Unsalted butter
1/4 c Cake flour
1/2 c Superfine sugar; PLUS:
1 tb Superfine sugar
3 Eggs
3/4 c Heavy cream; reduced by half
-(SEE NOTE)
1 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder

NOTE: Simmer cream until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Preheat
the oven to 400 F. Lightly butter an 8-inch springform pan. In a
double boiler, melt 4 ounces of the chocolate with 1/4 pound of the
butter, cut into small pieces. In a medium bowl, blend the flour and
1/3 cup of the sugar. Add the eggs and mix well. Add the melted
chocolate and butter to the bowl and, with an electric mixer, beat at
high speed for about 5 minutes, until the batter is smooth and forms
a ribbon when the beaters are lifted. Pour the batter into the
prepared pan (it will be about 1 inch deep) and bake for 15 to 20
minutes, until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center
comes out dry. Unmold the cake onto a rack and let it cool; it will
fall to about half its original height. Meanwhile, in a double
boiler, melt the remaining 3 ounces of chocolate with the remaining 1
teaspoon butter. In a small heavy saucepan, bring the reduced cream
to a boil, then whisk it vigorously into the chocolate. Continue
whisking until smooth and glossy. Place sheets of waxed paper under
the cake and cooling rack. Pour the frosting over the top of the
cake, using a metal spatula to spread the frosting evenly over the
top and sides. After the frosting has hardened slightly, about 5
minutes, use a long straight knife to mark the top in a crisscross
pattern. Mix the cocoa with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and
sprinkle it decoratively over the cake before serving.
