Here is what you need to make this delicious flourless cake:
16 oz semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup plus 2 T butter
5 large eggs separated
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
Combine 16 oz of semisweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup in a heatproof bowl and set over a pan of simmering water (or use a double boiler) and melt, stirring often.
While chocolate is cooling a bit, use the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to butter the pan and line with parchment paper, then butter the parchment paper. Preheat oven to 375.
Separate 5 eggs and put into 2 medium bowls.
Whip egg whites until stiff peaks form. I ended up whipping mine a bit more after I took this picture. With the same beater, beat the egg yolks together.
Add the egg yolks, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla to chocolate. Fold in 1/3 of egg whites into chocolate mixture and follow with the remaining 2/3's.
Fold until no white remains, trying not to deflate the batter.
Pour into prepared pan, the pan should fill 3/4 of the way. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes.
Cool cake on a rack for 10 minutes then unmold.
