4 large eggs
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

Cool on rack 30 minutes; chill cake uncovered until cold, about 6 hours. Cover; keep chilled at least 1 day and up to 2 days.

    Step 3

    Cut around cake to loosen. Release pan sides. Top with curls, if desired.
