Ingredients

12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
1/2 cup water
2/3 cup sugar, divided
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into small pieces
5 large eggs
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick spray with flour; set aside.
Combine water and 1/3 cup sugar in a heavy saucepan over high heat, stirring until sugar melts.
Bring to a boil, and cook 2 minutes.
Remove saucepan from heat; slowly add chocolate, stirring until completely melted.
Stir in butter, a few pieces at a time, until completely melted.
Combine eggs and remaining 1/3 cup sugar in a medium bowl; beat with an electric mixer until pale yellow and very frothy.
Slowly stream chocolate-butter mixture into egg mixture, stirring until smooth and satiny.
Pour batter into prepared pan.
Place cake pan inside of a larger roasting pan; pour hot water around cake pan until water reaches halfway up sides of cake pan.
Carefully transfer pans to oven.
Bake 28 to 30 minutes until just firm.
