Ingredients

12 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips or bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped<br />
1 cup (2 sticks) plus 3 tablespoons butter, roughly chopped<br />
1 1/4 cups sugar<br />
6 eggs<br />
1 cupun sweetened cocoa powder<br />
1 tablespoon milk<br />
1 tablespoon honey<br />
1/4 teaspoon gluten-free pure vanilla extract

Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F.<br />
<br />
Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray, then line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper.<br />
<br />
Spray the paper with cooking spray, too, then set the pan aside.<br />
<br />
Place two-thirds (8 ounces) of the chocolate and 1 cup (2 sticks) of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium low heat.<br />
<br />
Stirring often, melt chocolate with butter until completely blended.<br />
<br />
Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. (Alternatively, you may use your microwave to melt the butter with the chocolate, if desired).<br />
<br />
Add sugar and mix well.<br />
<br />
Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.<br />
<br />
Sift cocoa into bowl and stir until just blended.<br />
<br />
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cake has risen and top has formed a thin crust. <br />
<br />
The cake should be just firm in the center when done.<br />
<br />
Cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto a plate, removing sides of springform pan.<br />
<br />
Remove and discard parchment paper and set cake aside to cool completely.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, make the chocolate glaze. Melt remaining 4 ounces chocolate and 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium low heat, stirring until smooth.<br />
<br />
Remove from heat, then stir in milk, honey and vanilla.<br />
<br />
Set aside to cool slightly.<br />
<br />
When cake has cooled, pour glaze onto the center.<br />
<br />
Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, very gently smooth glaze along the top and sides of the cake.<br />
<br />
Chill cake, uncovered, for 30 to 60 minutes before serving to set the glaze and make the cake easier to slice.
