  Categories: Cakes, Chocolate
       Yield: 8 servings
  
       7 tb Unsalted butter
       9 oz Semisweet chocolate
            ; finely chopped
       7 lg Eggs; separated
     1/3 c  Sugar
            Whipped cream for garnish
  
   Preparation time: 30 minutes. Baking time: 60 to 70
   minutes. Chilling time: Several hours or overnight.
   1. Generously coat 8-inch round by 3-inch deep cake pan or
   springform pan using 1 tablespoon of the butter. Dust pan
   with flour; refrigerate until needed.
   2. Put chocolate and remaining 6 tablespoons butter into
   top of double boiler set over simmering water.Cook and stir
   until well mixed and melted.
   3. Mix egg yolks in small bowl; add a little of the warm
   chocolate; stir well. Scrape mixture into remaining
   chocolate and stir well; then set aside in warm place,
   uncovered.
   4. Heat oven to 250 degrees. Beat egg whites and salt in
   large mixer bowl until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar, 1
   teaspoon at a time, until stiff and glossy, but not dry.
   5. Scrape chocolate mixture over egg whites; fold together
   carefully but thoroughly. Spoon batter into pan.
   6. Bake until center is set but still wiggles, 50 to 60
   minutes. Cool on wire racks 10 minutes. As it begins to
   cool, cake will pull away from side of pan. Remove sides of
   springform or, if using ordinary cake pan, invert cake onto
   serving plate to cool. Cool completely. Refrigerate until
   cold.
   7. Cut cake in wedges. Serve each wedge topped with a large
   dollop of whipped cream.
