Request Hi. I wanted to try some of Suzanne Somers' recipes. Does anyone have any recommended
dessert recipes from her? I looked on the web but couldn't find any. Thanks! Suzanne Lanoue
Decadent Chocolate Cake
Cake 7 1/2 oz dark chocolate, chopped 11 tablespoons unsalted butter 4 large eggs, separated
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
Ganache 6 ozs dark chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup heavy cream
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 10-inch round cake pan. For the cake: Melt the
chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Set aside to cool. Beat the egg yolks until light and
fluffy. Slowly add the sugar and continue beating until mixture is pale yellow. Fold in the melted
chocolate. Sift the flour over the chocolate mixture until it just disappears. In a separate bowl,
whisk the eggs whites until soft peaks form. Fold egg whites into the chocolate mixture in 2 parts
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap on the counter to remove air bubbles. Bake for 20 to
25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. For the Ganache: Place the chopped chocolate in the a
mixing bowl. Place the cream in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the hot cream to the chocolate
ad stir until all lumps are gone. Let the ganache stand until it reaches room temperature, then pour
it over the cooled cake and spread with a spatula.
