Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 1-ounce squares unsweetened chocolate

4 tablespoons butter

1 3/4 cups unbleached flour

3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup regular or nonfat sour cream (see note)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup nonfat or low-fat milk

2 tablespoons whole macadamia nuts or whole hazelnuts -- toasted

` Light Chocolate Glaze (recipe to follow)

confectioner's sugar for dusting

mint sprig for garnish (if available)

 

Preheat oven to 350F. Oil a 9 x 13-inch cake pan.

Melt chocolate and butter together over very low heat in a heavy-bottomed

saucepan. As soon as both have melted, remove from heat and transfer to a

medium bowl.

In a large mixer bowl, place flour, sugar, baking soda, sour cream, eggs, and

vanilla and beat at low speed for 1 to 2 minutes. Add milk and the

chocoate-butter mixture and beat for 2 minutes more. Pour into the prepared

pan. Lightly press macadamia nuts all around the edges at even intervals. Bake

for 30 to 35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Place on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes.

Frost with Light Chocolate Glaze. (You can sppread the entire amount of

frosting over the cake. This results in an accumulated puddle at the bottom of

the cake, creating a marvelous effect. Or spread half for frosting and pass the

rest at the table.) Just before serving, dust with confectioners' sugar and

place mint sprig at the center.

NOTES : Nonfat sour cream produces a surprisingly moist cake. For a richer

taste or for special occasions use regular sour cream.
