1 stick of butter

1 cup of sugar, separated

6 eggs, separated

1 tsp cream of tartar

1 tsp vanilla

Method:

Cut a round of parchment paper and line the bottom of a spring form pan.

Melt butter and chocolate in microwave at 30 second increments until melted.

Beat egg yolks with ½ cup of sugar. Add in melted chocolate and vanilla and transfer mixture to a large bowl.

Whip egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Slowly add the sugar, whipping gently until combined.

Place about 1 cup of the eggs whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten them, then add the remaining egg whites, folding them in gently so as not to deflate.

Transfer batter to prepared pan and bake for 40 mins. Once cooled cake will sink and become cracked and “fallen”.

To serve fill top of cake crevice with chocolate whip cream and meringue mushrooms.

For the Whipped Cream:

Ingredients:

2 cups heavy cream

¼ cup of cocoa

2 tbsp powder sugar

1 tsp of vanilla

Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a ½ round tip. Pipe 1-2 in mounds (for the mushroom tops) and 1 inch lines for the stems.

Dip a spoon in water and flatten down any peaks that are created in meringues. You want a smooth top and stem.

Dust with powder cocoa either with a shaker or a fine-mesh sieve. Bake for 1 hour.

Allow to sit until meringues are hard and no gummy-ness remains.

Place chocolate in a microwave safe bowl, microwave on high in 30 sec increments until chocolate has melted.
