Chocolate Cloud Cake

Cloud Cake Recipe -a flourless chocolate cake

It calls for five eggs separated. 3 of the eggs had double yolks so it was extra rich

Good chocolate is key to depth of flavor
I even added a few squares of Icelandic Dark with SeaSalt.
I used the vegetable steamer and a Pyrex bowl as a double boiler to melt the chocolate and butter
Once it’s smooth , let it cool a bit before you fold in the egg whites

Here’s a 30 second video (click link to watch )beating egg whites with my 38 year old Kitchen Aid

Folding the beaten whites into the chocolate mixture
Don’t over bake so it isn’t dry
The top did not crack this time we added freshly whipped heavy cream with a bit of vanilla. It’s simply delicious

Soft Peaks

Incorporating air into egg whites creates soft then stiff peaks. A good stress reliever. Whisking egg whites. No copper bowl on hand. This was before the Kitchen-Aid mixer head was secured by my friend.
