Chocolate Cloud Cake

No flour and No butter, just 4 ingredients.

Delicate and delectable.

Melt chocolate in a bowl, then whisk in the 

sugar and egg yolks until well combined.

 In another bowl, beat egg whites to soft peaks.

 Whisk  1/3 of the egg whites into the chocolate.

 Fold in the remaining egg whites gently with a 

rubber spatula. Do not overmix.

Pour the batter in a dish and set the dish in a
larger pan, like a roasting pan.  You're going to
 bake it in a water bath. It's easy, just fill
the roasting pan with boiling water until it's
halfway up the sides of the dish.  

 A water bath helps it bake gently and stay moist.

 Bake until puffed and just set.

 Let cool 5 minutes.

Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.

Serve warm.

1/2 C sugar

5  eggs, separated

1 bag (6 oz) semisweet chocolate chips

water bath. Butter a shallow 2-qt baking

(casserole) dish and sprinkle with sugar,

tapping out excess.

In a large bowl, beat egg whites on high until

soft peaks form. In another large bowl melt

the chocolate in the microwave for 1 minute.

Remove and stir to melt completely. Whisk in

the sugar, then whisk in egg yolks. Whisk in

about 1/3 of the egg whites. Add the remaining

egg whites and gently fold in using a rubber 

spatula just until combined.

Transfer to the baking dish. Set the dish

 in a roasting pan, and pour enough boiling

 water into the pan to come about 1 inch up 

the sides of the dish. Bake @350º until 

puffed and just set, about 25-35 minutes. 

Center of cake should barely move when 

jiggled. Let cool 5 minutes. Dust with 

powdered sugar just before serving warm.

Enjoy!
