Choc-o-holic beware! You pick the chocolate; do you want the sweet taste of dark chocolate or the seim-sweet milk chocolate? Whichever one you chose you will die when you put a piece of this in your mouth.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. dark sweet or semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1 C. butter (room temperature)
  • 1-1/2 C. sugar
  • 5 eggs, beaten until foamy
  • Ganache:
  • 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1 C. heavy cream

Directions

Melt the 8 oz. of chocolate; stir until smooth. Remove from heat. Cool 1 minute. Add butter, bit by bit, beating with a wire whisk. Add sugar; beat 1 minute. Add eggs. Beat until mixed. Butter an 8-inch round cake pan and line with parchment or waxed paper. Pour in batter. Set cake pan in larger pan. Pour hot water in larger pan about 1 inch deep.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. Cool 1 hour. Cake will fall. Refrigerate 2 hours. Prepare the Ganache - boil chocolate and cream together, stirring to blend. Refrigerate until it is thick, like frosting. Invert cake on plate and spread Ganache on top and sides.
