on the bake setting fitted with the baking

of the dough into a 10-inch disc. Fit into
an ungreased, 9-inch, 1½-quart ceramic
pie shell. Chill in refrigerator for about 20

Preheat Cuisinart
™
Brick Oven to 375°F on
the convection bake or bake setting with a
rack in position A.
Butter a 10x3-inch round cake pan. Cut a
circle of parchment paper to line the bottom
of the pan; butter the parchment; dust entire
pan with sugar. Clean the lip of the pan so no
butter or sugar is on it. Reserve.
In a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering
water, melt the chocolate and butter. Keep
warm; reserve.
In a large bowl, mix the egg yolks and ¾
cup of sugar, using a Cuisinart
®
Hand Mixer
fitted with the whisk attachment, until pale
and thickened. Whisk in the cooled chocolate
mixture. Reserve.
Wash and dry the whisk attachment well and
whip all of the egg whites, water and salt
until foamy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly add
the remaining sugar and
whip to a medium-stiff peak, about
3 to 4 minutes.
Stir a very small amount of the egg whites
into the chocolate/yolk mixture. Gently fold
¾ of the whites into the lightened chocolate/
yolk mixture using a large rubber spatula until
the ingredients are incorporated. Sift in the
flour and gently fold into mixture. Gently fold
the remaining whites.
Pour into prepared pan and bake in the
preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes until
cake has puffed and appears dry, but still
soft to the touch.
Turn cake out onto serving plate and remove
pan and parchment. Top with whipped
cream and strawberries, if desired. Serve
immediately.
