My dessert recipe from last week
Sorry, I didn't get to post this last week. We left for OOT right after work and it's kind of been crazy since we got back.
This recipe has been around my family for years and it's DELICIOUS!!! I haven't heard of anyone that didn't like it!
Enjoy!!!

Chipotle Flourless Chocolate Cake
INGREDIENTS
10 oz. of semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped (I use the little chips found in baking stores)
7 tablespoons of unsalted butter, cut into pieces
5 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon of chipotle chili powder
Dash of cayenne pepper
Pinch of salt
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
1 Preheat the oven to 350?F. Line the bottom of a 9 ? inch springform pan with a circle of parchment paper. Grease the sides and the parchment with butter or non-stick cooking spray
2 Melt the chocolate and butter together over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth.
3 Whisk together the eggs and the sugar in a large bowl, and then slowly, a bit at a time, whisk in the melted chocolate. Add the salt and spices and taste, adjusting the spices if needed.
4 Pour into the springform pan and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool completely on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
