So recently a friend asked me to send her one of my favorite recipes, and I couldn't pick just one, so here is assembled 11 of the things I particularly like to make, for your enjoyment. Almost all these recipes are not originally mine, they're pulled from various places, but I have made modifications to most of them.

Triple Chocolate Fuck You In The Mouth Truffle Cake

3 Cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
3/4 Cup Milk Chocolate Chips
1 Cup Unsalted Butter (at room temperature)
8 Large Eggs
1/4 Tsp Salt
1/3 Cup Heavy Cream
1 White Chocolate Baking Bar (for garnish)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325
Bring a large pot of water to a simmer, and put semi-sweet chips and butter into a 2nd smaller pot, resting that pot over the simmering water.
(Or use a double boiler if you're a fancy pants)
Melt chocolate and butter slowly until smooth and creamy.
Meanwhile, quickly whisk together eggs and salt until light and frothy, about 5 minutes
Gently and slowly fold the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture, a little at a time, mix slowly until smooth
Coat the bottom and sides of a 9" pie pan with butter, then line only the bottom with wax paper.
Pour the mixture into the pie pan, and place the pie pan into a larger pan filled half way up with warm water. Do not allow the water to get into the pie pan.
Bake the whole thing for 40 minutes, then move the whole pie pan to a cooling rack (keep the chocolate in the pie pan).
One pie pan has completely cooled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
To remove the cake from the pie pan, dip the pan in warm water and run a thin knife around the outside edge, carefully invert onto a plate, and remote the pie pan.
Don't forget to remove the wax paper!
Prepare the glaze by bringing the heavy cream to a boil over low heat, then slowly mix in the milk chocolate chips, stir until smooth.
Cool the glaze until it is warm to the touch, then pour it over the top of the cake. Watch for overflow.
Refrigerate the cake for about 30 minutes, then grate white chocolate bar on top of cake for garnish.
Devour as if your life depended on it.
