Title: Flourless Chocolate Torte
Categories: Five, Chocolate, Desserts
Yield: 12 servings

5 lg Eggs; separated
12 oz Semisweet chocolate;
- chopped
3/4 c Butter; diced
1/4 ts Cream of tartar
1/2 c Sugar
Confectioners' sugar; opt

Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room
temperature 30 minutes. Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC. In top
of a double boiler or a metal bowl over barely simmering
water, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth.
Remove from heat; cool slightly.

In another large bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and
lemon-colored. Beat in chocolate mixture. With clean
beaters, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium
speed until foamy.

Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on
high after each addition until sugar is dissolved.
Continue beating until stiff glossy peaks form. Fold a
fourth of the egg whites into chocolate mixture, then
fold in remaining whites.

Transfer to a greased 9" springform pan. Bake until a
toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist
crumbs, 40-45 minutes (do not overbake). Cool completely
on a wire rack.

Loosen sides from pan with a knife. Remove rim from pan.
If desired, dust with confectioners' sugar.
