9 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup sugar
5 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
coffee ice cream

1
Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter and flour a 9-inch square baking pan, knocking out excess flour.
2
In a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate and butter, stirring occasionally, until smooth.
3
Remove bowl from heat and whisk 1/2 cup sugar into chocolate mixture.
4
Add yolks 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition, and whisk in flour, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt.
5
In a bowl beat whites until they hold soft peaks and gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until whites just hold stiff peaks.
6
Stir one fourth whites into chocolate mixture to lighten and fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly.
7
Pour batter into baking pan, spreading evenly, and bake in middle of oven 40 to 45 minutes, or until a tester comes out with moist crumbs adhering.
8
Cool cake in pan on a rack.
