Ingredients
- 10 oz. of semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped (I actually use mostly bittersweet)
- 7 tablespoons of unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional)
- 3/4 teaspoon of chipotle chili powder
- Dash of cayenne pepper (my dash is usally way more than a dash)
- 1/2 tsp salt
1 Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Line the bottom of a 9 ½ inch springform pan with a circle of parchment paper. Grease the sides and the parchment with non-stick cooking spray.
3. In 30 second increments, melt the chocolate and butter together in a glass bowl in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth.
4. Whisk together the eggs and the sugar in a large bowl, and then slowly, a bit at a time, whisk in the melted chocolate. Add the salt and spices and taste, adjusting the spices if needed.
5 Pour into the springform pan and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool completely on a wire rack
