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 2 tablespoons
of 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 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 meringue into
the chocolate/yolk mixture. Gently fold ¾ of
the meringue 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 meringue.
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.
