chocolate chili cake


120g dark chocolate
200g butter
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
5 eggs, separated
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons plain flour
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
130g brown sugar
2 cartons whipped cream flavoured with tia maria/kahlua/baileys/whatever

Preheat oven to 350f/180c and butter a 8-inch springform pan.
put the chocolate in a bowl and melt it over a pan of hot water.
add the butter and chopped jalapeno pepper, stir occasionally until smooth.
mix in egg yolks, vanilla extract and flour.
stir it for a minute and remove from heat.

mix the egg whites, cream of tartar and sugar and whisk it until you get bored/your wrist starts to hurt.
add the two parts together and pour into the pan.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, serve with whipped cream.

Is friday the best night for people? Fridays and mondays would suit me best. Saturday too if people want.

If we're doing another Friday night then the 27th is best for me in the next while. Who's hosting this time?

Superbi (groan) actually - thankfully they played only 2 songs off the latest album so really good. I repeat - they are great live. It ended up being another after 5am night so I can't believe I'm alive!

Okay I'll definetly host one on Friday the 20th, and people can sort out the week after at the dinner. Should be able to take 10-12 people.

What format has it been in before? People bringing ingredients and then cooking, or more of a potluck thing where people bring prepared dishes?

the 20th is good for me.

the buzz so far has been bringing ingredients and cooking together. i was only at the one last week and i was a bit late so i didn't really do much prep and no cooking but i thought it was a good buzz to chat before the dinner.

any idea on a theme?

 

[jillface]

well i did have a night of sitting in being thumped's biggest loser pencilled in but i might be able to rearrange it.
see what i can do

 

[#10-7]

fuck, this sounds like deadly fun.
does anyone need toast? can i bring boil in the bag?

Halloween themed does sound like a good idea. Unfortunately I can't make the 20th guys - all going according to plan I'll be in Prague.
