Description
A cake I made for my boyfriend for our first Valentines together.

Chocolate flourless cake with chocolate ganache.
Topped with drizzled white chocolate, raspeberries, and shaved chocolate.

It went over well. Extremely rich - and we'll be carving out slices to give to friends.

I used this recipe for a few reasons. The biggest is it didn't require a waterbath for the cake - only a springform pan.
It also doesn't require a higher temp than other ones (I found nearly cooking at 400 degrees on some recipes suspect.
This recipe doesn't require you to divide the eggs - whole eggs are fine.
It also doesn't require you to chill the cake over night in order to remove it from pan.

Suggestions: Butter UNDER the parchment paper round you cut to line the pan, and on top of it. Buttering under it makes it stick down nice before the batter pours in, and pops out easy once the cake is done.
The cake is very crumbly. Be careful when removing the springform pan, and let it cool a long time.
Bake for under the time listed. Others marked the recipe was prone to burning.
I did mine for 27 minutes and then tacked on 3 minute increments until the cake-tester came out as indicated / with few moist crumbs adhering to it.

Extremely easy recipe. It's a two step and two ingredient one. Sets up very nice.
