FRENCH SILK LAYER CAKE
We just can't get enough French silk pie, which is why we couldn't help ourselves-we had to create it anew, in cake form. Expect all the smooth texture, creaminess and rich chocolate taste of the original pie, but in a whole new format. This fudgy triple-layer cake is filled and frosted with chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream frosting, piped with whipped cream and crowned with chocolate curls, so it's indulgent, impressive and sure to be the star of your next holiday or special occasion!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the bottom of a 9-inch round springform pan upside-down (concave side down); secure sides of pan. Butter pan, line sides of pan with a long strip of waxed or parchment paper, and butter paper. Wrap bottom of pan securely in aluminum foil. Bring a kettle of water to a boil.
- In a large heatproof bowl set over, not in, a pan of simmering water, melt chocolate; cool to room temperature.
- Using an electric mixer on high, beat eggs, sugar, salt, and rum until thick and foamy and batter holds a trail, about 3 minutes.
- Stir half of the egg mixture into cooled chocolate to lighten it. Fold in remaining egg mixture and whipped cream. Spoon batter into prepared pan and smooth top.
- Place pan in a roasting pan and pour hot water to come halfway up the sides of the pan. Bake until set and firm to the touch, 30 to 35 minutes. (It will look like a cheesecake.) Transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until well chilled, about 3 hours.
- To serve: Release sides of springform and, using a knife dipped in warm water, cut into thin slices.
CHOCOLATE-SILK MOUSSE CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Butter bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan. Line bottom with parchment or waxed paper. Using heavy-duty aluminum foil, wrap foil under and up outside of spring form pan to prevent leaks; set aside. In 3-qt saucepan, combine cut-up chocolate and butter. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until chocolate and butter melt and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat; cool 15 minutes. Meanwhile, with whisk, beat eggs and sugar over hot, but not boiling, water, until eggs are lukewarm and foamy and sugar is dissolved. Transfer to large bowl. Beat egg mixture at high speed until very thick and pale yellow--about 8 minutes. Beat in flour. Spoon about one fourth egg mixture into cooled chocolate. Fold chocolate back into remaining egg mixture. Pour into prepared pan. Place pan in deep roasting pan. Fill with enough hot water to come 2/3rds of the way up the side of springform pan. Bake 15 minutes (mixture will still be soft in center). Place cake on wire rack; remove foil; carefully loosen edge of cake with a sharp knife or metal spatula. Glaze.
