Flourless Chocolate Cloud Cake

12 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
6 large eggs
3 egg whites, 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar Confectioners' sugar and/or cocoa powder, for dusting

Yesterday, we celebrated Anne's birthday, which is coming up this friday. As is the tradition for her birthday (done 3/4 times during medical school), the cake had to be personally made. Which is nice in theory (especially since usually there are 3 of us making the cake); but this year it fell onto me to make the cake. So I thought it would be a nice time to try out a flourless chocolate cake.
