NO. The _ORIGINAL_ Death by Chocolate Cake by Marcel Desaulniers of the
Trellis resturaunt is made with a brownie, NOT cake.
I have made this cake and it is deadly! It makes 12 slices, but even so,
you can't eat a whole slice. If you plan on attempting this, PLEASE! read
through ALL of the directions carefully and allow at LEAST 2 days
(preferably 3) to make this. And make sure it is the ONLY thing you are
trying to do at the time.
Here is the original recipe in all of its chocolate glory (or should I say
_gory_?):
By Marcel Desaulniers of the Trellis Restaurant
EQUIPMENT: measuring cups, measuring spoons, sifter, 9 inch cardboard cake
circle, parchment paper, 2 baking sheets, electric mixer with balloon whip,
rubber spatula, pastry bag, double boiler, film wrap, 4 stainless steel
bowls (1 large), 2 whisks, 9 by 1 1/2 inch cake pan, 12 inch serrated
slicer, 2 1/2 quart saucepan, 9 by 3 inch spring form pan, serrated knife,
large metal spoon, cake spatula, large star tip
  METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
Using a 9 inch cake circle as a guide, trace a circle with a pencil on a
sheet of parchment paper cut to fit a baking sheet. Turn the paper over
and, with trace mark down, place on a baking sheet.
TO PREPARE THE COCOA MERINGUE, place 4 egg whites, the cream of tartar, and
salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a balloon whip.. Whisk on
high until soft peaks form, about 45 to 50 seconds. Gradually add 1 cup
sugar while continuing to whisk on high. Whisk until stiff, about 1 1/2
minutes. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber spatula to fold in
and thoroughly combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa and
the cornstarch. Fill a pastry bag (with no tip) with the cocoa meringue.
Fill the traced parchment circle with meringue: start in the center and
pipe a 3/4-inch wide spiral towards the outside of the circle.
Place the meringue in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Lower the
oven temperature to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 2 hours and 45
minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 45 minutes before
handling. Raise oven temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
WHILE THE MERINGUE IS BAKING, PREPARE THE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE. Heat 1 inch of
water in the bottom half of a double boiler over medium heat. Place 6
ounces semisweet chocolate in the top half of the double boiler. Tightly
cover the top with film wrap. Allow the chocolate to melt slowly, about 9
to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir until smooth. Keep at room
temperature until needed.
