1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425~. Melt chocolate with the 1 tb water, in the top of a double boiler over hot, NOT BOILING, water.

2. 2

   Beat the whites until they hold a definite shape but are not dry and fold into the chocolate mixture.

3. 3

   Overbeating or underbeating will ruin the cake.

4. 4

   Pour mixture into an 8 ″ spring form pan that has been lined with wax paper.

5. 5

   Bake 15 minutes.

6. 6

   Turn off the heat; open the oven door, leaving it ajar and allow the cake to cool completely in the oven.

7. 7

   If the center of the cake still feels soft, refrigerate an hour or two, but the cake is best served at room temperature.

8. 8

   Decorate with whipped cream and serve in very small pieces.

9. 9

   IT IS RICH.
