One to Three Days In Advance: 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. DO NOT remove side of springform pan. Cool at room
temperature 1 hour. Refrigerate overnight or up to 3 days.
On day of serving prepare glaze: In small saucepan, combine heavy cream and
chocolate. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until chocolate melts and
mixture is smooth. Chill until thick enough to spread but still
pourable--20 minutes. Loosen cake and remove sides of springform pan.
Invert cake onto serving plate. Carefully remove bottom of springform pan
and parchment paper. Spread some of the glaze on side of cake. Pour
remaining glaze on top, spreading with a spatula to form a smooth surface.
Let cake stand at room temperature about 30 minutes to set glaze before
decorating with white candy roses.
