1. Chocolate Decadence Cake I

For chocoholics, this is a great recipe that is to die for and you can be proud of to serve in large social occasions; whether served with crème custard, stout beer or mixed berries, this is the kind of cake that your friends will remember you best. It is as good as or maybe even better than the one you can get from a restaurant, with very rich and thick chocolate flavour. It is best served cold and a few days older because its texture and taste gets better in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

* 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
* 4 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
* 1 1/2 cups butter, melted
* 1 3/4 cups white sugar
* 1/2 cup water
* 7 eggs
* 2 cups whipped cream

Directions

* Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10 inch round pan and line bottom with parchment paper.
* Chop chocolate squares and place in a large bowl with chocolate chips. Add melted butter. Heat water and 1 1/2 cups sugar in a saucepan until boiling, and then pour over chocolate. Stir until smooth.
* In a separate bowl, whip eggs with remaining 1/4 cup sugar until thick. Fold into chocolate mixture. Pour batter into 10 inch pan.
* Place 10 inch pan on a cookie sheet in the oven and fill the cookie sheet with water.
* Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool and refrigerate for several hours. Be extremely careful not to burn yourself on the hot water when removing the sheet pan from the oven.
* Dip the pan in hot water to remove cooled cake. Garnish with whipped cream and serve.

2. Flourless Chocolate Cake I

This is a fantastic, elegant, high end finish to the best of the best recipes, but to be honest, a bit pricey as well, which for the chocolate lovers do not matter at all as long as they can bake and serve their friends a decadent cake that they will remember for the rest of their lives. You can experiment with this recipe by putting different garnishes on top and around its edges like chocolate syrup, unsweetened whipped cream or sliced almonds. This is perfect for those who are gluten-intolerant since it is a flourless cake.

Ingredients

* 1/2 cup water
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 3/4 cup white sugar
* 18 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
* 1 cup unsalted butter
* 6 eggs

Directions

* Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease one 10 inch round cake pan and set aside.
* In a small saucepan over medium heat combine the water, salt and sugar. Stir until completely dissolved and set aside.
* Either in the top half of a double boiler or in a microwave oven melt the bittersweet chocolate. Pour the chocolate into the bowl of an electric mixer.
* Cut the butter into pieces and beat the butter into the chocolate, 1 piece at a time. Beat in the hot sugar-water. Slowly beat in the eggs, one at a time.
* Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Have a pan larger than the cake pan ready, put the cake pan in the larger pan and fill the pan with boiling water halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
* Bake cake in the water bath at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 45 minutes. The center will still look wet. Chill cake overnight in the pan. To unmold, dip the bottom of the cake pan in hot water for 10 seconds and invert onto a serving plate.
