Comments from a kitchen in PA: At once VERY rich and VERY light. How can that be?? Sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with raspberries, the presentation was also very nice. Also, you can substitute 1/4 c. of all-purpose flour for the cake flour.
INGREDIENTS:
cooking spray
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. packed dark brown sugar
3/4 c. water
1 T. instant espresso or 2 T. instant coffee granules
2/3 c. Dutch process cocoa powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 Tbsp Kahlua
3 large egg yolks
1/3 c. sifted cake flour
6 large egg whites (at room temp)
1/4 tsp. cream of tarter
1/3 c. granulated sugar
1 T. powdered sugar
1/4 c. raspberries, optional
Chocolate curls, optional

- Coat bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
- Combine 1/2 c. granulated sugar and next 3 ingredients in a large saucepan, stirring well; bring to a boil.
