Three-ingredient Chocolate Torte
from Nicole, 11/24/01:
Since I don't do dishes, I guess I'd better offer up something else before I get kicked out. How about my handy-dandy three-ingredient recipe for chocolate torte (a weight watcher's nightmare, too!):
7 eggs
9 ounces butter
1 - 18 oz package semi-sweet chocolate chips
Melt the chocolate and butter together in a double boiler. Meanwhile, beat those eggs to about three times their volume. Fold the fluffy eggs into the chocolate mixture and pour the batter into a greased and floured springform pan. Place the pan in a waterbath in the oven and bake at 425F for 5 minutes, then put a piece of foil over the top of the pan and bake another 10 minutes.
Voila. *Especially* voila with whipped cream and fresh fruit.
Even more voila if you soak the fruit in brandy or something equally nice first.
