Directions: |
Directions:Place the chocolate bits and the milk in the top of a double boiler and heat until melted, stirring occasionally. Put the gelatin into the orange juice and stir to combine. When the chocolate is melted, add the gelatin to the mixture and stir to combine. Separate the eggs. In a small bowl whip the egg yolks. Add the 2/3 c. of sugar and whip until incorporated. Add to the chocolate mixture and cook until it is smooth and the sugar is melted. Remove the mixture and put in the refrigerator to cool and starts to firm up. Whip the egg whites with 1/8 tsp salt until they start to come together. Add the second 2/3 c. of sugar a T, at a time until it has firm peaks. Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg whites. Once it is fairly well incorporated you can use the whip on the mixer at a very slow speed until it looks all the same color. Whip the heavy cream. Add about 2/3 into the chocolate. Save the rest for the garnish. Line the sides and the bottom of a 9" spring form pan with the split ladyfingers. Break up any extra to fill the gaps in the bottom. Pour 1/3 of the chocolate mixture into the pan. Add a layer of ladyfingers. Add more chocolate and another layer of ladyfingers. Top with the chocolate. Put the rest of the whipped cream in a pastry bag and garnish around the top edge and some bits in the middle. Put the cake in the freezer and let it sit for at least a day. Unmold it carefully. Can be refrozen |

Notes: I now know why I haven't made this cake in thirty years. It is not difficult, but very time consuming. Well worth it for a special occasion. Enjoy
