Ingredients:  
10 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
6 large eggs
2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 tsp. salt

1/2 cup mascarpone, softened
3 tbsp. powdered sugar

Directions:
In a microwavable bowl, combine chocolate, oil and 1/2 cup butter. Microwave until melted. Separate 4 eggs, placing whites and yolks in separate medium bowls. In the bowl with the egg yolks, add cocoa powder, vanilla, salt, 1/4 cup sugar and remaining 2 eggs; gradually whisk until mixture is smooth. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat egg whites until frothy. With the mixer running, gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar; beat until firm peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into chocolate mixture in 2 additions; folding just until incorporated between additions. Scrape batter into a lightly buttered 9-inch springform pan; smooth top and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until top is puffed and starting to crack, and the cake is pulling away from edge of pan. Transfer to a wire rack and let cake cool completely in pan. The cake will collapse in the center and crack further as it cools. Topping: Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream, mascarpone and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Remove sides of springform pan from cake. Keep refrigerated. Mound whipped cream mixture in center of cake.

Personal Notes:
This cake is so elegant and chocolicious. You can make it the day before and put the topping on right before serving. Add a few fresh berries and you have all 4 food groups covered...what a healthy way to go!
