Kimmi's Notes:

Mmmmmmmmmmm! Who can resist chocolate?

Directions

Place egg whites in a small bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt chocolate & butter over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; cool slightly. Coat a 9" springform pan with cooking spray. Place pan on a baking sheet; set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, beat egg yolks on high speed for 3 minutes or until light & fluffy. Gradually add 1/3 C sugar & vanilla, beating until thick & lemon colored. Beat in baby food & chocolate mixture.

Beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form; fold into batter.

Pour into prepared pan. Bake 30 - 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs. Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; remove sides of pan. Cool completely.

Sprinkle with cocoa & confectioners’ sugar. Refrigerate leftovers.
