  • 2 ounces  semisweet chocolate squares
  • 2 tablespoons  evaporated fat-free milk
  • 1 teaspoon  light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon  brandy, (optional)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line bottom of an 8-inch springform pan or 8-inch round cake pan with removable bottom with waxed paper or a nonstick bakeware liner.* Lightly coat bottom and sides of pan with vegetable cooking spray. Wrap outside of pan with foil.

2. Combine the 3 ounces semisweet chocolate and the unsweetened chocolate in large microwaveproof bowl. Microwave on 100 percent power (High) 1-1/2 to 2 minutes to melt; stir until smooth.

3. Whisk together 3/4 cup of the sugar and the cocoa in small saucepan. Whisk in the 1/2 cup evaporated milk. Cook 2 minutes over medium heat, whisking constantly, until smooth. Stir cocoa mixture into melted chocolate until smooth; stir in yolks and vanilla.

4. Beat whites in large bowl on medium speed of electric mixer until foamy. Gradually beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Increase speed to high and beat just until stiff but not dry. With rubber spatula, gently fold whites into chocolate mixture one third at a time. Fold in flour. Spread in prepared pan. Place springform pan in roasting pan. Pour enough hot water to reach 1 inch up side of springform pan. Bake 30 minutes. Remove pan from water; cool 10 minutes on wire rack. Discard foil. Remove sides of pan and cool cake completely.
