Steps to make Richard Sax's Chocolate Cloud Cake:
  1. Line cake pan with parchment paper at the bottom. - - Do not use any butter to grease the pan. You can use water droplets to prevent the paper from moving. - - Preheat oven to 175 degree celsius or 350 fahrenheit. - - Prepare a double boiler. - - Melt chocolate in the double boiler.
  2. Magnum dark chocolate contains raw cacao nibs and cocoa butter. If you can’t get your hands on Magnum, add 1 TBSP of finely chopped raw cacao nibs.*
  3. Remove from heat and add in butter and salt. - - Stir until the butter has melted completely. - - In a large bowl, add in egg yolks, eggs and sugar. - - Using a hand or stand mixer, whisk until well combined and sugar has dissolved.
  4. Fold in the chocolate mixture, cognac and orange zest. - - Gently fold to combine well. - - In another large bowl, add egg whites. - - Using a hand or stand mixer, whisk until light and frothy.
  5. Add in sugar and continue whisking until glossy and soft peaks form. - - Gently fold the egg whites, in quarter portions, into the yolks mixture until fully incorporated. - - Carefully transfer into the prepared cake pan. - - Wack into the oven and bake for 35 to 40 mins.
  6. The sides should rise and crack. The center should not be wobbly. - - Do not bake more than 40 mins. - - Remove from oven and set aside to cool completely. - - As it cools, the center will collapse. That is a good sign.
