TRIPLE CHOCOLATE TORTE D' AMOR 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken up 3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, broken up 3 ounces milk chocolate, broken up 1/2 cup butter, cut into 8 pieces 6 eggs, separated, room temperature 1 cup sugar 2 teaspoons dark rum 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch springform cake pan. Melt chocolate with the 1/2 cup of butter until smooth. Beat egg yolks at high speed with a mixer, gradually adding 3/4 cup of sugar. Beat until mixture is pale yellow and thick, about 5 minutes. Add chocolate mixture to yolk mixture and beat until smooth. Stir in rum and vanilla. Beat whites until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Beat until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into chocolate mixture and pour into prepared pan. Smooth top with spatula. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake another 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F and bake 30 minutes longer. (Total baking time is 1 hour.) Turn oven off, prop oven door slightly open and allow cake to remain in oven 30 minutes. Remove cake to cooling rack and cool completely. Dome of cake will crack and collapse -- press top of cake gently to smooth top. Remove cake from springform to serving platter. Dust top with powdered sugar. Serve with lightly sweetened whipped cream if desired.
