(Source: Judy K)

4½ oz unsalted butter
4½ oz bitter chocolate
4½ oz sugar

3 very fresh eggs Oven temp. 400º F

Melt the butter in a double boiler. Add chocolate cut in small pieces.
When chocolate melts remove from heat and add sugar. Mix well and add flour. Stir again and finally add 3 egg yolks. Stir again.
Beat egg whites until stiff and stir into chocolate mixture.
Butter charlotte mould, or other straight sided baking dish. Pour in cake batter and bake 30 min.
The cake is cooked when the top is hard and cracking; the interior should remain soft.
