Preparation
Step 1
Directions
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Bring to 130 degrees, and then add the sugar slowly. Remove from heat. Texture of mixture will be grainy. Add 12 well beaten eggs and mix well. Add cream and vanilla. Grease the bottom and sides of a round 10-inch pan at least 3 inches high. Cut out a wax paper circle for the bottom of the pan. Pour mixture into the pan so it's 2/3 full. Put pan inside a large roasting pan and pour water so it comes halfway up the cake pan. Bake in an oven at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
Turn the heat down to 350 degrees and bake until a wooden toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and flip cake pan onto a serving dish.
