Cyrille's Mother's Swiss Chocolate Cake






Cyrille, part of a worldwide organic farm educational and cultural exchange program, shared a family recipe he brought with him from Geneva, Switzerland. 


Preheat oven to 200 Celsius.

4 eggs separated
300 grams good dark chocolate (I like to use 60% and 70% cocoa)
100 grams sugar
125 grams butter
2 Tablespoons flour

Melt butter and chocolate in double boiler slowly.







In another bowl whisk egg yolks with the sugar until light and fluffy.  Add the beaten egg yolk/sugar mixture to the melted chocolate and add the flour.




Separate whites from yolks. 









In a separate bowl beat egg whites until very stiff and then fold into the chocolate mixture.





Fresh eggs stiffen better.


Fold Slowly




 Bake in greased 9" round pan for 12-15 minutes.
