Chocolate Mousse Cake

8 servings

• 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 pound unsalted butter
• 1 cup powdered (confectioner's) sugar
• 4 eggs, separated
• 3 dozen ladyfingers

 

 

Place the chocolate, sugar and cold water in a saucepan and heat over low heat until chocolate is melted. Add the vanilla and set aside to cool.

In a bowl, combine the butter and confectioner's sugar, and add to the chocolate mixture. Beat in the 4 egg yolks. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture.

Line an 8-inch square pan with the ladyfingers on the bottom and sides. Pour the filling over the ladyfingers and place more ladyfingers on top. Refrigerate several hours.
