Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line the bottom of a 9 in (23 cm) springform pan with parchment paper. Grease the bottom and sides.
- Melt the chocolate over a double boiler, melt the butter in a small pot, then combine both. Do not overheat to avoid splitting. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before adding the vanilla extract.
- Separate the eggs and put the yolks and whites in separate bowls. Add salt to the egg whites and beat with a mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Whisk egg yolks and sweetener until smooth. Beat the together for 3-4 minutes (use a stick blender or hand whisk). It will go frothy and remain runny.
- Pour the melted chocolate and butter into the egg yolks and mix well. Fold in the egg whites. Keep folding just until you can’t see any white streaks from the egg whites.
- Slowly add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture in the saucepan, stirring all the time. As you add more egg mixture, the chocolate and butter will thicken to the consistency of custard.
- Pour into the prepared tin. Grease a loose bottom cake tin with butter then line the loose bottom with baking paper and push through the outer ring so the baking paper adds a seal and stops the cake mixture from leaking.
- Bake at 180C/ 350F about 25 minutes, until the top just starts to form a very thin crust on the edges only, and the internal the temperature in the center via thermometer is 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). The cake will not look done, which is normal, so go by temperature.
- Cool to room temperature in the pan, then refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours) right in the pan.

I'm a bit confused. The recipe tells me to add vanilla to the chocolate/butter mixture once it has cooled and it also has me add vanilla to the yolks. Should I just divide it in half? Or should one use a teaspoon in each instance? I also read the instructions to say I add the yolks to the chocolate/butter/vanilla mixture before folding in the egg whites but it also reads to slowly add the egg mixture to the chocolate in the saucepan without mentioning the egg whites again. Have I just misread this? And, my sweetener and cream mixture becomes neither frothy nor runny. Is it because I use a combination of Monkfruit and Swerve? It tastes great, but it takes at least 40 minutes to bake. It still has a soft center but any less time and it's liquid. But that could just be my oven. Thank you.
