Wade's Mom's "Chocolate to the Maximus" Cake

My sister, Lindsey, requests this cake from her mother-in-law every year on her birthday.  She says it tastes like "chocolate chips reincarnated."  Yum!

Preheat oven 425.

2 1/2 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 C butter
4 large eggs, separated
1 1/2 t flour
1 1/2 t sugar
1 t hot water

1. Melt chocolate chips and butter together.
2. Beat in egg yolks one at a time.
3. Add flour, sugar and water to the mixture.
4. Beat egg whites until stiff and then fold into the chocolate mixture.
5. Spoon batter into greased 8" round pan lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes.  Note: it won't look done in the center.
7. Cool on rack and then refrigerate until served.  Top with a dab of whipped cream.
