Storing cakes


Cover cut surfaces with plastic wrap to keep moist. 

Store in covered cake keeper or invert a large bowl over the cake
plate. 

Cakes with cream, butter, cream cheese, or custard fillings or
frostings should be stored in the refrigerator. 

Cakes with sugar frostings can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.

[CAKE-RECIPE] Flourless Chocolate Cake (French)

2008-08-11 Thread Joe Jackson
Another fabulous flourless cake:

Flourless Chocolate Cake (French)

7 oz (200 g) semisweet chocolate (45-50 % cocoa)
3/4 cup (180 g) butter
1 cup (200 g) sugar
4 eggs, separated

�� 1. Preheat oven to 350deg F (Gas mark 4 or 180 deg C).
�� 2. Line a 9 in (23 cm) cake tin with greaseproof or other non-stick 
paper and grease the tin.
�� 3. Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt it with butter over 
hot water.
�� 4. Beat the egg yolks with half of the sugar.
�� 5. Fold in the melted butter and chocolate mixture.
�� 6. Beat egg whites until frothy by using an electric mixer; gradually 
add the remaining sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
�� 7. Fold in the beaten egg whites.
�� 8. Bake at 350 degrees until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out 
clean, approximately 40 minutes. Please note that cakes of this type will 
collapse and look like a pie because no flour is used.
�� 9. Use a knife to separate the cake from the non-stick paper. Please 
observe that the cake is quite sticky! 

The Flourless Chocolate Cake may be served warm or cold with whipped cream. The 
cream may be dusted with cocoa powder before serving, and the cake may be 
dusted with powdered sugar.
