and specializes in French and Italian nouvelle cuisine. Her chocolate
creations always cause a sensation. She recommends serving this cake with
Creme de Menthe Custard Sauce, but it's incredibly delicious even without it.
Chocolate Tile Cake - Part I
SOUFFLE CAKE: TRUFFLE CREAM:
1/2 pound semi-sweet chocolate 18 oz semi-sweet chocolate,
1/4 c fresh rich coffee broken into small pieces
7 large eggs, separated and 3 c heavy cream
at room temperature CHOCOLATE TILES:
3/4 cup sugar 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate
1 pinch salt cocoa powder, unsweetened
confectioners sugar
Souffle Cake. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter jelly roll pan of
approximately 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1 inches; line pan with wax paper; allow wax
paper to extend over each end by about 2 inches. Set aside. Melt chocolate
with coffee in 200 degree oven, for about 10 minutes, or until melted. Cool.
Beat egg yolks with electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugar and
continue beating until mixture is pale yellow, about 5 minutes. Stir in the
cooled chocolate mixture.
Beat egg whites with salt until they form stiff peaks. Stir 1/5 egg whites
into chocolate mixture to lighten and then pour chocolate mixture into egg
whites. Gently fold whites and chocolate together until no white shows. Pour
batter into prepared jelly roll pan. Bake for 14 minutes.
Truffle Cream. Place chocolate in bowl, and place in 200 degree oven for 15
minutes or until melted. Heat heavy cream in saucepan until hot. Slowly pour
hot cream over melted chocolate, and stir until smooth and shiny. Strain
mixture into bowl and cool to room temperature.
Tiles. Place chocolate in bowl and place in 200 degree oven for 15 minutes or
until melted. Place wax paper down the length of a 17 x 14-inch baking pan.
Secure end with dab of softened butter. Pour melted chocolate on wax paper,
and with a metal spatula spread it out the length of the baking pan.
Refrigerate chocolate for 1 hour. Remove chocolate and leave it at room
temperature for 5 minutes. Cut chocolate into three strips, one 3 1/4 inches
wide, and two strips 2 1/2 inches wide. Cut strips crosswise into 3/4-inch
sections to make tiles. Refrigerate until needed.
