chocolate!

i am starting to feel like i am just posting sweet things on this blog! you have to know that i ate lots of amazing, not-sweet things yesterday. my first lunch at take the cake. moroccan chicken soup full of sweet potatoes and ginger. then a roasted vegetable salad with goat cheese on greens. and a crazy chocolate bread pudding. i was so full i was planning on making that last the whole day, until we decided to visit at city view tavern. had to get a beef bbq sandwich. with yellow cheese and slaw on top, grippos on the side.

but this flourless chocolate cake is what i made when i got home from all that. doing another catering this week (thru work) for SEGWAY! i am pretty excited about it, because whenever i see the owner of the segway shop, he lets me take a spin. and i would imagine he'll be there when i drop off the food! segway rides!

this cake is very, very easy and sooooo rich that you will definitely die a little with each bite. but it is worth it. melt 18 ounces of bittersweet chocolate, adding 12 ounces of butter. whisk together 9 whole eggs with 1 1/2 c. sugar. slowly add the melted chocolate and butter to the eggs and sugar. pour into a buttered pan and cover with foil. put the pan in a water bath and bake it till its firm at 350. let it cool and it should tip right out of the pan.

i promise i will post pictures of all the SAVORY bites that i am doing for this gig. i don't want to get a reputation as a pastry chef or anything.
