Add in egg-yolks one at a time, making sure to blend well, & stopping to scrape down sides of bowl after each addition. Add in chocolate mix, vanilla & salt. Beat at medium speed for two min. Beat egg-whites in a separate mixing bowl, with electric mixer on low speed, till foamy. Beat on high till soft, rounded peaks form. Fold egg-whites into chocolate mix. Pour into crust. Place pan on baking sheet & bake at 150 C for 55 min. The cake will rise & the top will wiggle slightly when shaken.
  5. Turn off heat & let cake stand in oven for one hour (It may sink). Remove cake from oven & place on wire rack in a draft-free place & cold cake to room temperature.
  6. Topping: Heat chocolate in double boiler. Slowly stir in cream till mix is smooth. Stir in flavouring. Pour topping over cold cake. Cover with cello-wrap & chill overnight.*This cake may be tightly covered & refrigerated up to three days.*It may be frzn in the pan, tightly covered with cello-wrap & aluminum-foil. Defrost wrapped cake in refrigerator overnight.
  7. Three hrs before serving, remove cake from refrigerator & remove side of springform. Garnish if you like.
  8. Notes on Cake:1. I have done my best in converting measurements, please forgive any errors
  9. 2. I find it unnecessary to add in a garnish to the cake, the rich flavour is quite satisfying.
  10. NOTE: For fullest flavour, this cake must be served at room temperature.
