Pound Bittersweet chocolate; chopped  
Pound Butter  
Tablespoon Grand Marnier  
1 Eggs yolks  
3/4 Cup Sugar  
1 Egg whites; beaten until stiff  
Cup White chocolate sauce; warm  
Whipped cream; for garnish  
Chopped mint; for garnish  
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Butter and flour a 12−inch springform pan.  
In a double−boiler, over medium heat, melt the chocolate and butter  
together. Stir in the Grand Marnier. Remove from the heat and cool to room  
temperature. In an electric mixer, on medium speed, beat the egg yolks until  
pale yellow and ribbon like, about 6 to 8 minutes. During the last 2  
minutes, add the sugar in a steady stream. With the machine running slowly  
add the chocolate mixture and blend until all of the chocolate is  
incorporated. Fold in the stiff egg whites. Pour the batter into the  
prepared pan. Place the pan on the rack, in the center of the oven. Bake the  
cake for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the center of the cake comes out  
clean with a toothpick. Remove the cake from the oven and place on a wire  
rack. Cool the cake for 15 minutes. Remove the sides of the pan and cool  
completely. Invert the cake onto a serving plate. The cake can be served  
warm or can be placed in the refrigerator and chilled. Slice the cake into  
1
6 slices and serve the cake with the white chocolate sauce, whipped cream  
and mint. This recipe yields 16 servings.
