½ cup or 1 stick and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
5 large eggs, egg white and egg yolk separated
Processes:
1. Pour the grated chocolate and butter in an ovenproof bowl.

3. After melting the mixture, place the bowl down on your rack and let it cool.
4. While this chocolate-butter mixture is cooling down, grease another pan with butter and line with a parchment circle.
5. After this, butter the parchment circle.

8. With the same beater, stiffly beat the egg yolks.
9. Add the egg yolks to the cooled butter- chocolate mixture.
10. Fold in the 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into the butter- chocolate mixture and then gradually mix the remaining 2/3rds while stirring continuously.
11. Pour this batter into the parched pan, such that the batter fills the pan by 3/4 of its size
12. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degree Fahrenheit.
13. Bake for 25 minutes until the top of the cake becomes set.

Tips:
1. While beating the eggs, take care not to over beat them.
