Ingredients

16 ounces bittersweet chocolate
10 ounces sugar
8 ounces flour
5 ounces butter
10 egg yolks
12 egg whites

Cooking Instructions

Melt the chocolate together with the butter in a saucepan over the stove in a place not too hot. Beat the 10 egg yolks with 5 ounces sugar then add them to half of the melted chocolate. Beat 6 egg whites very firm and fold the chocolate mixture into them, adding at the end the 8 ounces of flour. Put into a butter and floured cake pan and bake for 45 minutes at low. Let cool. Beat the remaining 6 egg whites until very stiff, adding 5 ounces of sugar while beating. Fold into them the rest of the chocolate, which must be hardly warm. Cover the cake with the chocolate mousse. Then sprinkle over the top and the side grated chocolate. Leave the cake in the refrigerator 2 hours before serving.
