Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottom with a round of parchment or wax paper, grease lightly and set aside.
- In the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, combine the chocolate and butter, whisking until melted and blended. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well-blended. Gradually whisk in the chocolate mixture until blended. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Place the pan in a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
- Cover the larger pan with foil and bake in the center of the oven for 90 minutes or until the cake appears set and when you touch its center your finger comes away clean. Remove the cake pan from the water, transfer to a rack to cool completely. Serve plain or with gently whipped cream.

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE ORBIT CAKE
From "Room for Dessert" by David Lebovitz. This cake promises to launch chocolate lovers into orbit! Serve with Creme Anglaise, which I am posting separately. If you like high quality chocolate, give this one a try...it's like chocolate on steroids! I like to make it, cool it and then refrigerate it right in the pan it was cooked in, then serve it cold with the chilled Creme Anglaise, topped with fresh raspberries and a mint leaf for garnish. Serve in thin slices as it is dense and very rich...but out of this world. My kids prefer it reheated in the microwave (for just a few seconds), topped with whipped cream. You choose...hot or cold, it tastes great!

Steps:
- Position the oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 2-inch round cake pan and line the inside with a round of parchment paper. (I don't keep parchment paper on hand and use nonstick cooking spray in the pan instead and it works fine).
- Set a large bowl over a pan of simmering water to create a double boiler. Cut the butter and chocolate into small pieces and put them in the bowl to melt, whisking occasionally.
- Whisk together the eggs and sugar in another bowl. Thoroughly whisk in the melted chocolate.
- Pour the chocolate batter into the cake pan. Place it in a larger baking pan and pour in warm water to reach halfway up the sides of the cake pan. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the cake appears to have set and when you touch the center, your finger comes away clean.
- Remove the cake from the water bath and cool completely before serving, plain or with creme anglaise (posted separately).
- Note: This cake can be refrigerated for several days.
