Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425&# 194;°F (218ðC). Grease the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan.
-
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
-
Add the cocoa and 1 cup of sugar to the melted butter, stirring constantly until well blended.
-
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
-
Stir in the all-purpose flour and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate.
-
In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar until soft peaks form.
-
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center still feels slightly soft.
-
Cool the cake completely on a wire rack; note that the center will sink slightly as it cools.
-
Once cooled, remove the side of the springform pan.
-
Refrigerate the cake for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to set the texture.
-
In a small mixer bowl, beat the cold whipping cream until soft peaks form.
-
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the chilled cake.
-
Let the cake stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
-
Garnish with chocolate curls if desired, then slice and serve.
