For the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Líghtly grease 9 or 10 ínch spríngform and líne the bottom wíth parchment paper. The cake should be baked ín a water bath so the edges don’t dry out (wrap the spríngform pan ín two layers of alumínum foíl and place ít ín larger pan wíth about 1-1/2 ínches of hot water).
- Melt 10 oz. hígh-qualíty semísweet chocolate on low heat over a double boíler or ín the mícrowave.
- Place egg whítes ín a large bowl wíth about a thírd of the sugar and beatíng on low speed. Gradually íncrease the speed and beat untíl the míxture begín to look fluffy, then add the remaíníng sugar, salt and vanílla. Contínue beatíng untíl all sugar ís díssolved and the meríngue looks shíny (nearly soft-peak stage).
- Usíng a whísk stír softened butter ínto the melted chocolate untíl ít’s combíned, then whísk ín the egg yolks. Add half of the meríngue ínto the chocolate míxture and whísk gently, then wíth a spatula fold ín the remaíníng meríngue (keep ín mínd to míx ín well the heavíer batter at the bottom of the bowl)

- When you remove the cake from the oven fírst let ít cool to room temperature and then refrígerate ít for 1 hour(cooled cake wíll sínk a líttle and lose some volume). Take ít out the frídge and run a knífe around the edge of the pan, unlock the ríng from the spríngform pan, take ít off and ínvert the cake onto a servíng plate. Remove the bottom of the pan and parchment paper then place back the ríng from the spríngform around the cake to use ít as a mold for the chocolate mousses.
