Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter the bottom and side of a 9-inch springform pan. Combine the chocolate and 1 1/2 sticks butter in a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and stir until melted and combined. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and let cool slightly.
- Combine the eggs, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and thick, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Gently fold half of the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until just combined, then gently fold in the rest. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the top is no longer shiny and barely jiggles and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few crumbs, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan. Remove the springform ring and transfer to a platter; dust with cocoa powder.
FRENCH QUARTER CHOCOLATE TORTE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Position rack in center of oven. Line a 9- or 10-inch springform pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with vegetable oil.
- Combine the molasses, corn syrup, brown sugar, diluted coffee, bourbon and vanilla in a small saucepan. Stir well and place over medium heat until melted and syrupy; do not boil. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Place the egg yolks in a small bowl and beat with an electric mixer until they are thick and lemon colored, about 2 minutes. Slowly beat in the syrup. Continue beating until the mixture is the consistency of thick cream.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the ground almonds and bread crumbs. Sift in the cocoa and stir to mix well. With a rubber spatula, fold the cocoa mixture into the yolk mixture. Set aside.
- Place the egg whites in a large, grease-free bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the salt and the cream of tartar, increase speed to high, and beat until stiff peaks form. With a large rubber spatula, fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the cocoa mixture to lighten it. Then gently fold in the remaining egg whites.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a thin wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs clinging to it, 20 to 25 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool completely. Remove the sides of the pan, invert the cake and peel off the parchment paper. Turn the cake right side up and sift confectioners' sugar over the top if desired.

Recipe is from Southern Living and the blurb accompanying it reads: "...six layers of chocolate-y delight...mounded with whipped cream and sprinkled w/ nuts..."

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick pans). Line bottoms only of two 13x9-inch pans with foil or waxed paper; spray with baking spray with flour.
- In large bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer on high speed about 5 minutes or until thick and lemon colored. Add cake mix, water and oil; beat on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Place half the batter (about 2 1/2 cups) in each pan. Spread batter slightly higher in corners than at the center.

Turn each cake upside down onto clean kitchen towel each sprinkled with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar; carefully remove foil. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.

Stir melted chips into cream cheese mixture. Add whipped cream and toffee candy to mixture; stir until well blended. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Trim edges of cakes to make even. Cut each cake in half lengthwise. If necessary, trim top of layers to make flat surface. Place 1 cake piece on serving platter; spread with one-third of the filling (about 3/4 cup). Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining cake piece. Gently press in sides to straighten; if necessary, trim sides until even. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes.
- In medium microwavable bowl, beat butter on medium speed until smooth. On low speed, beat in remaining glaze ingredients until well blended. Reserve 3/4 cup of the glaze for garnish; cover and let stand at room temperature about 30 minutes or until thick enough to pipe. Meanwhile, microwave remaining glaze on High about 10 seconds or until slightly warm and spreading consistency. Spread over top of torte, letting some drip down sides. Refrigerate torte about 30 minutes or until glaze is set.

OLD SOUTHERN CHOCOLATE PECAN SHEET CAKE
I received this recipe from an old Southern cook, a copy of a copy of a typed-up sheet from long ago, annotated with her notes (which included the word oleo instead of margarine). I've never seen another chocolate cake recipe like it, which instructs the cook to heat part of the cake batter on the stove, and pour the cooked icing over a hot cake. The result is a wonderfully rich (yet surprisingly light) chocolate sheet cake topped with a cooked chocolate and pecan frosting. This cake has an incredible homemade taste, yet is foolproof! Will make you forget Duncan Hines®!
