FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH APPLE CIDER SABAYON

Steps:

• Cake: Melt chocolate over a water bath. Dissolve the sugar in one cup of water. Add vanilla and bring to a simmer. Bring off the heat and let cool slightly. Add syrup to chocolate whisking to combine. Continue whisking and add the eggs and egg yolks one at a time. Add the salt. Add butter a little at a time. Bake at 350 in a water bath for 30-40 minutes, or until the surface starts to crack (subtle cracks only!). Let cool at room temperature and then chill in the fridge until set. Tips: the water bath should be about half way up the container you bake the cake in. I would bake the cake in something long and narrow. If you have a terrine that would be great. I don't so I used the smallest loaf pan I could. The cake comes out as a compact and heavy loaf sized cake (it doesn't actually rise at all). Then you can cut it into narrow/thin slabs to serve. It's very intense so really small portions is appropriate. Sabayon: Over a water bath whisk the yolks, sugar and cider until thickened and ribbons form. Whisk the cream and the vanilla separately until soft peaks form. When the yolks cool fold in the cream. Serving ideas: I served it with a Sabayon and garnished with a couple of cape gooseberries. You could also serve with a dollop of creme fraiche or even a fruit coulis. Yummy!
