with parchment and spray again

2 t lemon extract
zest of 1 lemon (minced)

Beat and gradually add; fold into batter
4 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar

bake cake for 12 to 13 minutes, or until just set
cool to room temperature on a rack

smooth.

paper.

With a pastry brush, lightly dab the syrup over the cake

Spread whipped cream over the cake, pushing it all the way to the left and

to set filling.

Nick Malgieri's Flourless Chocolate Cake
(Cuisine at home, February 2002, Issue 31, p. 36)
This was the cake I made a few weeks ago. It was frozen for about 1&½ months before serving and it was still good. Even better fresh!
Makes: One 8" Round Cake Total Time: 1 Hour + Cooling Rating: Easy


Bring to a Boil:
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup sugar

Off Heat, Add:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
12 oz. semi- or bittersweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces

Whisk in:
1/3 cup orange liqueur, such as Cointreau
I used Chambord
6 eggs

Garnish with:
Whipped cream
Fresh raspberries

Preheat oven to 325°; prepare an 8" round cake pan.

Bring water and sugar to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar.

Off heat, add butter and chopped chocolate. Let sit 2 minutes. to melt; stir to smooth.

Whisk in liqueur then the eggs, one at a time. Pour batter into prepared cake pan, place it into a roasting pan, then add warm water to the roasting pan. Bake cake 40 - 45 minutes. Cool and unmold.

Garnish with whipped cream and raspberries.

Let chocolate and butter sit in the hot sugar syrup for 2 minutes to melt.
Bake the cake in a water bath to help preserve its creamy, dense texture.
