INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • 4 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 1/2 cups butter, melted
  • 1 3/4 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 7 eggs
  • 2 cups whipped cream

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10 inch round pan and line bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Chop chocolate squares and place in a large bowl with chocolate chips. Add melted butter. Heat water and 1 1/2 cups sugar in a saucepan until boiling, then pour over chocolate. Stir until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip eggs with remaining 1/4 cup sugar until thick. Fold into chocolate mixture. Pour batter into 10 inch pan.
