Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and flour (have used matzoh meal) in a 10 inch springform pan.
Break chocolate into chunks and place in a large microwave safe mixing bowl. Microwave on high (100% power) for 1 minute. Stir to see how much is melted. Repeat twice or until chocolate is melted.
In a heavy saucepan, combine water and sugar. Stir to dissolve sugar and cook over high heat until boiling. Cook for one minute. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Using a mixer on low speed, mix melted chocolate with sugar mixture. Add butter, a tablespoon at a time. When the butter is completely mixed in, add eggs, 1/2 cup at a time.
Mix until all the eggs are incorporated into batter. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 45-50 min or until cake is barely set in the center. (cake top may crack) Cool on wire rack. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour or overnight. If refrigerated overnight, let set at room temp for at least 30 min before serving for easier slicing. Serve with whipped cream or powdered sugar (not on Passover) for garnish.
