Rich Flourless Chocolate Cake

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRETCHEN!!!!
I made this cake in celebration of Gretchen's birthday.  It is a really rich and intense chocolate cake that would go perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a big glass of cold milk, or just by itself.  It is easy to make and here is the recipe:
1. Preheat oven to 350 and prepare a pan - I used a spring form.
2. Melt 1 pound of buttersweet chocolate and 4oz of butter over a bain marie.
3. Mix 2 egg yolks with 3oz of sugar and mix to a creme.
4. Mix the melted chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture.
5. Whip 8 egg whites to a soft peak.
6. Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until incorporated.
7.  Bake for about 30 minutes.  The cake will rise and then fall when cooling.
Enjoy!
