Bittersweet Chocolate Cake Recipe

Ingredients

14 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, grated or broken into small pieces
3 Tbsp water (or more if needed)
12 eggs, separated
2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
3 1/2 sticks (3/4 lb plus 4 Tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup all purpose flour, sifted
Powdered sugar

Method

1 Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease the sides and bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Add a few tablespoons of sugar and gently shake so that all the sides and bottom of the pan are coated with sugar. Tap out excess sugar.

2 Beat egg yolks with the granulated sugar until they are thick and pale yellow and form a ribbon when they fall from the beater.

3 Place chocolate and 3 Tbsp of water in the top of a double boiler. Melt over simmering water, whisking until smooth. If the chocolate gets too thick, and looks like it will firm up, whisk in a tablespoon or more of water. Let cool slightly.

4 Fold the warm chocolate into the egg mixture. Stir in the softened butter. Stir in the grated orange peel. Fold in the sifted flour. Mix thoroughly but gently.

5 Beat egg whites until stiff. (See this wonderful explanation of whisking egg whites taken from La Bonne Cuisine de Madame Sant-Ange.) Stir a large spoonful of the chocolate mixture into the beaten egg whites. Mix well. Pour this mixture into the chocolate mixture, fold together gently, incorporating the whites completely. Be careful at this stage not to overmix.

6 Turn batter into the springform pan. It will come close to the top of the pan. Set the pan on the middle rack of your oven and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes, then remove the outer rim. Allow the cake to cool completely before removing the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate.

7 When ready to serve, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Makes 20 small, but quite rich, servings.

Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients

4 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) unsalted butter, diced
2 tablespoons espresso or very strong coffee (I used decaf espresso from a local Starbucks)
1 cup cold heavy cream
3 large eggs, separated
1 tablespoon sugar

(Optional) Raspberries and extra whipped cream

Method

1 Whip the cream to soft peaks, then refrigerate.

2 Combine the chocolate, butter, and espresso in the top of a double boiler over hot, but not simmering, water, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool until the chocolate is just slightly warmer than body temperature. To test, dab some chocolate on your bottom lip. It should feel warm. If it is too cool, the mixture will seize when the other ingredients are added.

3 Once the melted chocolate has cooled slightly, whip the egg whites in a medium bowl until they are foamy and beginning to hold a shape. Sprinkle in the sugar and beat until soft peaks form.

4 When the chocolate has reached the proper temperature, stir in the yolks. Gently stir in about one-third of the whipped cream. Fold in half the whites just until incorporated, then fold in the remaining whites, and finally the remaining whipped cream.

5 Spoon or pipe the mousse into a serving bowl or individual dishes. If you wish, layer in fresh raspberries and whipped cream. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours. (The mousse can be refrigerated for up to a day.)

Serves 5-8, depending on the size of the servings.

BANANA, COCONUT, CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE

Ingredients:

1 1/3 cups cold water
2/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 pkg (4-serving size) instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup whipped topping, divided
1/2 tsp coconut extract, divided
2 (medium) ripe bananas, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 chocolate crumb pie crust
1 tbsp flaked coconut, toasted

Procedure:

In a bowl, combine water and dry milk powder stirring until the milk powder is dissolved. Add the pudding mix and whisk with a wire whisk for a minute or two until thickened. Fold in 1/4 cup of the whipped topping and 1/2 the coconut extract. Layer the banana slices in the crumb pie crust. Top the bananas with the pudding mixture. Cover and refrigerate.
Meanwhile, combine the remaining 3/4 cup whipped topping and the remaining coconut extract. Spread over the pudding. Sprinkle with the toasted coconut. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
Yield: 8 servings
Enjoy!

Love is Sacrifice

2010-04-19T04:41:00.000-07:00

Love is a great feeling that we couldn't even resist. Sometimes it comes unconditionally. But most of the time unexpectedly. Your heart really jump so high when you are In Love... Its all about the wonderful feeling you have inside. Sharing stories, jokes, spending time together.. Good and bad.. Always there to listen and tell you what is right and wrong... Really great to have that someone.. But what if that someone doesn't mean to be yours forever? What is that person only stay in a couple of days, months, years in your life... SAD. but that's LOVE.. We must accept it even it hurt so deep. All you have now is just a pieces of memories that keep running in your mind every second, minute, hours of your life... If we can only know if the love we found will stay forever or just past as by... If we only know...

Seeing that person in others arms not yours... When you wake up in the morning seeing him smile but it wasn't for you. You have a cup of coffee but not with him instead with your pets. Really painful is in it? Thats what we called Sacrifice... We sacrifice our feeling for the sake of love. for the sake of the one we surely love...someone who completed our song... Wipe the tears every time you see that person in others arms as long as he/she is happy.. You can sacrifice the love you feel inside for his/her happiness. And that's the real love.. Loving unselfishly.. Love if forgiving and perhaps love is letting go of someone who can give meaning into your life...

You came into my life unexpectedly. You lighten my world, you gave a word that fit into my song, you put a hymn into my music... You help me to bring back my smile... You held my hand so tight so i can stand again... You share your life to me and I do mine... We sit on a bench with a cup of coffee showing me how great to fall in love again. Help me believed in the magic of love. It always a great morning to see your smile as i open my eyes and its a lovely night to see it again as i sleep. Your armed warmth me in days of my sorrow. Your always there to wiped those tears when i feel pain... You are my clown when i feel sad.

Now time came and fact comes so near... Its time for you to leave.. How can I live my life without you... I open my eyes without your smile. Its no you that I can share my coffee. Its really different now. Start my life without you. Where will i start? i don't know. I really don't know... You are my life.. You are the air that i breathe... Now there is no you in my life.. Even its over now, Please don't ask me to pretend that everything will be okay....because you know I'm not... and never be...
