I finally found a flourless cake that is so yummy. I guess this is a delicatessen that they serve in really rich restaurants and on cruise ships.
8 oz. squares semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Grease an 8 inch round cake pan, and dust with cocoa powder.
Melt chocolate and butter, and then stir in sugar, and beaten eggs and vanilla. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completly. Slicescan also be reheated before serving. Serve with cool whip or vanilla icecream.
