This is a wonderful chocolate decadence cake...pretty easy and very yummy! Your dad and you will both love it!
1 pound bittersweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
1 stick unsalted butter*
9 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Whipped Cream
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan.
Put the chocolate and butter into the top of a double boiler (or in a heatproof bowl) and heat over (but not touching) about 1-inch of simmering water until melted. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar in a mixing bowl until light yellow in color. Whisk a little of the chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs - this will keep the eggs from scrambling from the heat of the chocolate; then whisk in the rest of the chocolate mixture.
Beat the egg whites in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form and fold into the chocolate mixture. Pour into the prepared pan and bake until the cake is set, the top starts to crack and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it, about 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes, then remove sides of pan.
Serve at room temperature dusted with confectioners' and the whipped cream.
Enjoy!
What a great person you are : )
I hope my Daughter turns out like you...

hi heres a recipe hope it helps xxx
Ingredients
250 g (9 oz) slightly salted butter
250 g (9 oz) dark soft brown sugar
4 x size 2 or 3 eggs
20 ml (1 Tbs) golden syrup or honey
150 g (5 oz) carton of natural yogurt
250 g (9 oz) self-raising flour
40 g (1 ? oz) Cadbury Bournville cocoa
40 g (1 ? oz) ground almonds or hazelnuts
FOR THE SYRUP
125 g (4 oz) caster sugar
125 ml (? pint) water
80 ml (4 tablespoons) dark rum
FOR THE FILLING AND ICING
80 ml (4 tablespoons) cranberry or redcurrant jelly
200 g bar of Cadbury Bournville chocolate
284 ml (? pint) double cream
20-40 ml (1-2 tablespoons) rum
FOR THE TRUFFLES AND DECORATION
100 g bar of Cadbury Bournville chocolate
25 g (1 oz) slightly salted butter
60 ml (3 Tbs) cream from the icing
25 g (1 oz) ground almonds
50 g (2 oz) icing sugar
75 g (3 oz) sweet biscuits, crushed
40 ml (2 Tbs) rum
50 g (2 oz) glace cherries dusted in sugar
Chocolate leaves
A 25 cm (10-inch), round cake tin, preferably loose-based, greased and base-lined
Make the cake by creaming the butter and sugar together. Gradually beat in the eggs, syrup or honey and yogurt and when well mixed, fold in the sieved flour and cocoa, and then the nuts. Spread the mixture in the tin, hollow out the centre slightly, and bake at Gas Mark 4/180oC/350oF for about 1 hour until cooked.
Slowly dissolve the sugar in the water in a pan and then boil briefly to thicken the syrup a little. Cool before adding the rum, and then moisten the warm cake whilst still in the tin. Leave to cool completely before turning out.
Split the cake in half and sandwich it back together with the jelly. Melt the broken-up chocolate with all but 60 ml (3 tablespoons) of cream. When smooth, whisk together. Add the rum. Leave the icing to cool and thicken before spreading it over the cake; place the cake on the serving plate first if you are brave enough! Otherwise, ice it on a board and transfer when set. Make the surface quite smooth.
Now make the truffles by melting 75 g (3 oz) of the chocolate and grating the remainder. Stir all the ingredients into the melted chocolate, mixing well. Leave in the fridge until firm enough to handle fairly easily. Divide the mixture evenly and roll into about 18 balls, tossing them in the grated chocolate. Leave in the fridge until firm.
Decorate the cake with some truffles, frosted cherries and chocolate leaves. Keep cool until required.
my father is getting creme brulee as thats what he just said his favorite is,
For the choc cake I would go for all in one method 1/3 1/3 1/3 self raising flour butter or cooking margarine and caster sugar.
BUT for the amount of flour you use make that 2/3 flour and 1/3 coco powder so if you were doing measures of a cup the flour would go down to about 2/3 of a cup and you would sneak in 1/3 cup of coca powder.
If you add a good shot of espresso that will inform the chocolate flavour without making it a coffee cake !
put a butter icing on the top with melted chocolate in it to really make it an indulgence
You said your a good baker so I wont insult your abilities by telling you how to bake a cake too !
I also put walnuts in my chocolate cakes sometimes for a bit of texture
happy fathers day to all the fathers
