⁄
2
ounces SomerSweet Dark Chocolate Baking Bar, chopped (46 squares)
11 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
4 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons SomerSweet
1
⁄
3
cup white whole wheat flour (or whole wheat pastry flour)
1 recipe Milk Chocolate Frosting (below)
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Butter and flour a 10-inch round cake pan.
Melt chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over gently simmering
water. Stir until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat
and set aside.
Attach the whisk to the Somersize Su-Chef. In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks until
light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Slowly add SomerSweet and continue to whisk
until mixture is pale yellow. Carefully fold chocolate mixture into egg mixture. Sift
flour over the top and whisk just until it disappears. Set aside.
Thoroughly clean and dry the whisk attachment, then re-attach. In a separate
bowl, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold half the egg whites into
chocolate mixture. Gently fold in remaining half. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Tap pan a few times on counter to remove air bubbles. Bake for 20-25 minutes
or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely
before frosting.
