Servings: 8

Preparation duration: 25 minutes

Cooking duration: 60 minutes

 

Ingredients:

3 (1 oz.) squares semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, grated

3/4 cup cake flour

1 tsp. cream of tartar

12 egg whites

1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice

1/4 cup orange juice

1 tsp. orange zest

1/4 tsp. salt

6 cups (2 pints) strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Equipment:

microplane

baking paper

hand mixer

stand mixer

bowl

oven

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees (F). If it does not have a removable bottom, line a 9 or 10 inch tube pan with parchment paper.Sift together the flour, cocoa and 3/4 cup of the sugar. Set aside.Grate the chocolate (my beloved microplane grater really came in handy for that) into a small bowl. Stir in 3 tbsp. of the flour mixture.Using an electric mixer set at low speed, beat egg whites until foamy. Increase mixer speed to medium, stir in cream of tartar and salt, and continue to beat until egg whites form soft peaks. (The eggs should look soft and still fold over on themselves when you remove the beater.) Gradually mix in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. (The eggs will have a sheen, and they won’t fold over anymore). Don’t overbeat! I don’t think this should take more than 5-10 minutes with a stand mixer. (I always had problems whipping egg whites with my hand mixer, so it might take longer if you’re using one of those. Just make sure to stop and test the thickness of the whites every few minutes.)Gently stir in the vanilla and lemon juice.Very gently fold the flour mixture into the beaten egg whites, then fold in the grated chocolate, stirring just until blended. (I had problems with it not being mixed well at the bottom of the bowl, so I found it helpful to transfer about half of the mixture to the pan and then finish folding the rest.)Gently scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the surface of the batter and tap the pan lightly to remove any air bubbles. Bake in center of the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the surface springs back when touched.Cool completely and remove from pan. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar and top with strawberries (below) before serving. If you have leftovers, it stores best in an airtight container to help keep it moist and fluffy.Combine all ingredients in a bowl.Refrigerate at least one hour or overnight, stirring occasionally.

Food Joke

A biologist had been working on a remote research project in the Amazon jungle. Upon his return to the States, he came down with a terrible illness. After his health had deteriorated, his wife took him to a doctor who specialized in strange jungle diseases. The doctor gave him a complete examination and a series of tests. After receiving the results of the tests, the doctor called the wife into his office alone. He told the young biologist's wife, "Your husband is suffering from a very severe disease, combined with horrible stress. If you don't do the following, your husband will surely die." "Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant, and make sure he is in a good mood. For lunch make him a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal for him. Don't burden him with chores, and generally do anything he asks. Don't discuss your problems with him, as it will only make his stress worse. And most importantly, make love with your husband several times a week and satisfy his every whim. " If you can do this for the next 10 months or so, I think your husband will regain his health completely. Otherwise...well... He'll probably die" On the way home, the husband asked his wife. "What did the doctor say?" she replied. "Honey...he says you're probably going to die."
