Flourless Chocolate Cake


1/3 Cup Water
1/2 C Sugar
1/2 Cup Unsalted butter cut into 8 pieces
12 Ounces semi sweet or bitter sweet chocolate finely chopped
1/2 Cup Orange Liqueur such as Cointreau
6 eggs
Whipped Cream (if you can) and fresh raspberries as garnish

Prepare a 9 inch spring form pan.
Preheat oven to 325.
Bring water and sugar to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar.
Off heat, add butter, chocolate and let set for 2 minutes to melt. Stir until smooth.
Whisk in liqueur and eggs one at a time.
Pour batter into prepared cake pan.
Place cake pan in a roasting pan and add warm water to the roasting pan.
Bake cake 40-45 minutes.
Cool and serve with shipped topping and fresh raspberries.

This recipe I tried out a few weekends ago.
It was alright.
It's kind of like a chocolate keish.

**I am notorious for not reading recipes all the way through, so I didn't realize I had to place the spring form pan in a roasting pan. So my cake took twice as long to cook, and did not cook all the way through. It still tasted good though.**

I did not have any whipping cream since I cannot eat it, and raspberries are not in season right now.

My children, LOVED this. :)
