Chocolate Gateau with Port
Submitted by: Bjorn Olson
Location: San Francisco, California
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup port wine
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup flour
|
|
3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
3 eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt
|
In a small saucepan bring the port to the boiling point. Reduce heat immediately to warm. Add the butter and the chocolate to melt. Blend when melted with a wire whisk. In a bowl beat the egg yolks and the sugar until well blended. Alternately add the flour and the cooled port mixture in three parts until well blended. In another bowl beat the egg whites and the salt until stiff. Fold into the batter. Turn the batter into a well greased 10 inch cake tin and bake at 325 for about 30 minutes.
This cake is very rich and needs no icing or topping. However an icing of a chocolate buttercream can be used if desired.
