flourless chocolate cake

This is an improvisation on a cake from my Gourmet cookbook -- I use a bit less sugar, for a richer flavor, and beat the egg whites for much better structure, IMHO. This is wonderful for dinner parties, a quickie hostess gift and children adore it. For the latter group, I like to cut out a shape (recently I used a trumpet for a Music Man cast party), lay it in the center of the cake held down with dimes, then sift powdered sugar over it. Carefully remove the paper pattern, and voilà, a themed cake. You can half this recipe and make in an 8 inch cake pan for smaller groups.
