Time 9h

Number Of Ingredients 12

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
1 cup finely ground chocolate wafer cookies (4 ounces)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
4 ounces semisweet chocolate (55 to 61 percent cacao), finely chopped
4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
Pinch of coarse salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
Chocolate Glaze

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Wrap bottom and outside of a 9-inch springform pan with a double layer of foil. Coat bottom of pan with cooking spray, and line with parchment. Spray parchment.
  • Stir together cookie crumbs, butter, and sugar in a medium bowl. Press mixture firmly into bottom of pan, and bake until firm, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on wire rack.
  • Filling: Melt chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Let cool. Beat cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and beat in sugar in a slow, steady stream until combined. Beat in salt and vanilla until thoroughly combined and completely smooth. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until combined after each addition (do not overmix).
  • Divide cream-cheese filling in half. Stir peanut butter into 1 half; stir melted chocolate into other half. Ladle 1 cup peanut butter filling into center of crust, and tap pan gently on counter to settle. Ladle 1 cup chocolate filling directly on top of peanut butter filling. Repeat, then switching to half-cup amounts, continue to ladle fillings into crust, alternating them until all of each filling is used.
  • Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Set cake pan in a large roasting pan, and transfer to oven. Carefully pour boiling water into roasting pan to reach halfway up sides of cake pan. Bake until cake is set but still slightly wobbly in center, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on wire rack. Refrigerate cake in pan until cold, at least 6 hours, up to overnight. Before unmolding, run a knife around edge of cake. Pour glaze over top of cake, smoothing with an offset spatula and letting it drip down the sides.

QUATRE-QUARTS AU CHOCOLAT DE JULIETTE (CHOCOLATE POUND CAKE) RECIPE



Quatre-Quarts au Chocolat de Juliette (Chocolate Pound Cake) Recipe image

This delicious cake is different from other good chocolate pound cakes. It uses chocolate instead of the more usual cocoa, and the cake is baked in a bain-marie, or water bath.

Provided by Sally Darr

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon water
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
1/2 cup sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 cup sifted cake flour (not self-rising), plus more for pan
1/4 cup almond flour or finely ground blanched almonds
3 large egg whites
Lightly whipped cream as an accompaniment if desired
7-inch (5-cup) bundt, Kugelhupf, or other high sided tube pan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Butter and flour cake pan. In a small metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt the chocolate with the water, stirring, until the mixture is smooth and remove the bowl from the heat. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, beat in the egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in the chocolate mixture. Onto a sheet of wax paper, sift the cake flour and in a bowl, combine it with the almond flour. Beat the flour mixture into the yolk mixture in batches, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition, and transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
  • In the mixer bowl, cleaned, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they just hold stiff peaks, stir 1/4 of the whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, and fold in the remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Spoon the batter into the bundt pan, smoothing the top, put the bundt pan in a deep roasting pan, and add enough hot water to the roasting pan to reach halfway up the side of the bundt pan. Bake the cake in the middle of the oven for 1 1/4 hours, or until a tester comes out clean. Remove the bundt pan from the water bath and let the cake cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Turn the cake out onto the rack and let it cool completely. Serve the cake with the cream.
