Girls-night out

Had a bit of bad luck yesterday, baked a chocolate cake for Mums girls-night out but forgot to bring my camera so I don't have any pictures of the food yet.
However I do have some cake left so I hope to take a picture today, also Inger had her camera with her so maybe she has some pictures, anyway here is the recipe adapted from Allers (a Swedish magazine):

300 g dark chocolate (at least 70%)
3/4 fruit sugar (I used plain caster sugar)
2 tsp vanillasugar (the recipe says real vanilla sugar but I think you can use substitutes)
1 pinch of salt
6 eggs
1 dl coarsely chopped pistachio nuts

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Coat an ovenproof dish (that will hold 1 1/2 litre) with oven paper.
Then melt the chocolate in a water-bath or in the micro, when the chocolate is melted stir in the sugar, vanillasugar, salt and eggs.
It takes a while before the batter is smoth and creamy but you'll get there. When the wanted texture is achieved you stir in the pistachios.
Pour the batter into the dish and bake for about 10-15 minutes (don't worry if it has not set, it's supposed to be gooey). Let the cake cool in the dish and when it's at room temperature put it in the fridge for at least 1 hour (if you can leave it over night).
Cut the cake into pieces and serve with whipped cream and raspberries or do as we did serve it with a fruit salad (soaked in cointreu) and whipped cream with vanilla.

I also hope I can get the recipe and pictures of some of the pies they had yesterday :)
Have a nice Sunday! /LC

(Forgot to take pictures of the cake that was left, sorry but it was just too good...)
