Chocolate Mousse Cake
Ingredients:
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups butter
1 cup water
1 teaspoon instant coffee, if desired
16 ounces semisweet chocolate, cut into pieces
8 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup chilled whipping cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9 inch springform pan. Heat sugar, butter, water, coffee (dry) and chocolate in saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth; remove from heat. Stir in eggs. Pour into springform pan. Bake until toothpick comes out of center clean, 45-50 minutes. Cool completely. Remove from pan; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours.
Beat cream and powdered sugar in chilled bowl until stiff. Garnish cake with cream and almonds if desired. Refrigerate any remaining cake.
Please note that this cake is different from most flourless cakes because you do not separate the eggs and add the whites whipped. It is therefore a denser, fudgier cake.
