Lots of chocolate chips but only a small amount of dry
ingredients were used in this award-winning recipe. To
achieve just the right texture, chill the cake overnight
before serving.
1. Heat the oven to 350 F. Butter 9-inch springform pan.
Wrap outside of pan securely with foil.
2. Heat chocolate with water and coffee powder in saucepan
over very low heat, stirring occasionally, just until
chocolate is melted. Cool to room temperature.
3. Beat butter in mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in sugar
until light and fluffy, 5 minutes. Beat in egg yolks one
at time, beating well after each. At low speed, gradually
beat in flour. Stir in cooled chocolate mixture.
4. In clean bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually
increase speed and beat until stiff but not dry. Fold into
chocolate mixture.
5. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 60 to 65 minutes, until
toothpick inserted in cake about 1 inch from side comes out
clean. (Top may crack.) Cool in pan on rack. Cover and
refrigerate overnight.
6. Remove side of pan. Sift confectioners' sugar lightly
over top of cake.
