Flourless Chocolate Cake

Cake:

1 cup (6 ounces) chopped semisweet chocolate or chocolate chips
1/2 cup (1 stick or 4 ounces) unsalted butter
1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (2 ounces) confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 to 2 teaspoons espresso powder, optional
3 large eggs
1/2 cup (1 1/2 ounces) unsweetened cocoa powder, Dutch-process preferred

Glaze:

1 cup (6 ounces) chopped semisweet chocolate or chocolate chips
1/2 cup (4 ounces) heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping:

1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted in a 350°F oven till golden brown, about 10 minutes

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease an 8" round cake pan; cut a piece of parchment or waxed paper to fit, grease it, and lay it in the bottom of the pan.

To make the cake:

Put the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat till the butter is melted and the chips are soft. Stir until the chips melt, reheating briefly if necessary. You can also do this over a burner set at very low heat. Transfer the melted chocolate/butter to a mixing bowl.

Add the sugars, vanilla, salt, and espresso powder. Espresso enhances chocolate's flavor much as vanilla does; using 1 teaspoon will simply enhance the flavor, while 2 teaspoons will lend a hint of mocha to the cake. Add the eggs, beating briefly until smooth. Add the cocoa powder, and mix just to combine.

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake for 25 minutes; the top will have formed a thin crust. Remove it from the oven, and cool it in the pan for 5 minutes. Loosen the edges of the pan with a table knife or nylon spreader, and turn it out onto a serving plate. The top will now be on the bottom; that's fine. Also, the edges will crumble a bit, which is also fine. Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing.

To prepare the glaze:

Combine the chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat till the cream is very hot, but not simmering. Remove from the microwave, and stir till the chocolate melts and the mixture is completely smooth. Stir in the vanilla.

Spoon the glaze over the cake, spreading it to drip over the sides a bit. Allow the glaze to set for several hours before serving the cake.

Yield: one 8" cake, 12 rich servings.

1 lb black beans, dried
1 or 2 teaspoons sage, dried
1 tablespoon oregano, dried
1 teaspoon cilantro, dried
5-6 bay leaves
12 cups water
8 cloves garlic
2 onions, large
2 Chipotle peppers
6 oz. orange juice concentrate
1-6 oz can tomato paste

Heat the 12 cups of water in the microwave oven, 2 cups at a time, adding it to the beans in the slow cooker.

Before retiring for the night, stir beans and check to make sure the beans are covered with enough hot water. Add more water, if necessary. Reduce heat to “low.”

In the morning, stir beans, and check water level, adding more if desired. Set heat to “high.”

Peel and clean garlic cloves and onions. Remove stems from chipotle peppers. Place garlic, onions, chipotle peppers, and orange juice concentrate in blender. Run covered blender at “high” until contents are creamy. Pour the contents into a microwaveable dish or pot. Rinse out the blender container with a little water and add to the dish. Heat to boiling and add contents to slow cooker and mix in.

Add tomato paste and stir well. Continue to cook until beans are very soft. Mash some of the softened beans against the bottom of the slow cooker with a spoon or potato masher and mix well to have a thicker consistency.
