Ingredients

for 8 servings

Cake

8 oz
dark chocolate, cut into chunks (230 g)
6 tablespoons
unsalted butter, cubed
6 egg yolks
2 tablespoons
orange zest
6 egg whites
½ cup
sugar (100 g)

Orange Whipped Cream

1 cup
heavy cream (240 mL)
1 teaspoon
orange extract
2 tablespoons
powdered sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan.
In a large mixing bowl, add the chocolate and butter. Melt in the microwave at 15-second intervals. Stir often and make sure the chocolate doesn't burn, then set aside to cool for a few minutes
Add the egg yolks and the orange zest to the chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed with an electric mixer until very white and foamy. Gradually add the sugar. Continue beating on high speed until soft peaks form.
Gently fold ¼ of the egg white mixture to the chocolate mixture. Gently fold in the remaining egg white mixture. Be careful not to deflate the eggs. Stir until fully combined. Some streaks are fine.
Pour into prepared pan.
Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes or until the sides of the cake gently pull away from the pan.
For the orange whipped cream, beat together heavy cream, orange extract, and sugar.
Top with whipped cream and garnish with orange zest.
Enjoy!

THIS IS DELICIOUS! I am a very fussy/picky 13 year old, and I found this recipe easy to follow and very tasty. I made it for my sister who has celiac disease, and the whole family agreed it was absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend making

Delicious! Made it for my dad and sister who both have celiacs disease and they loved it! Don't bother with sticking a toothpick in the center to see if it's done, just take it out after 45ish minutes. The toothpick will always have something on it because it's such a rich and moist cake.
