1 |
Preheat oven to
350°F. Grease 8-inch springform pan liberally with
cooking spray. |
|
2 |
Melt butter in a
medium-sized glass bowl in the microwave (about 1 to 2
minutes). Add the chocolate and microwave for 30 more
seconds. Let sit for about 3 or 4 minutes, then add the
sugar and stir until blended. When cool, stir in the
beaten eggs. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for
about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a crust forms on top.
Cool to room temperature; then refrigerate overnight in
pan. |
|
3 |
Remove cake from
pan, and place cake on a wire rack over a baking sheet. |
|
4 |
Make icing by
placing whipping cream in a large saucepan. Heat to
almost boiling. Remove from burner and add chocolate
chips. Let sit for about 4 to 5 minutes. Then stir to
blend. |
|
5 |
Pour ganache over
the cake and spread the icing over the sides. It will be
a glossy icing. Carefully remove iced cake to a serving
plate. |

cake with a dollop of whipped cream. |

Cooking Tips |

*For good quality semisweet
chocolate, look in your local kitchen supply stores or online. |
|
**You definitely need the
whipped cream on top to "cut" some of the richness of the
chocolate. |
