-------- ------------ --------------------------------
chocolate dough:
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large egg
chocolate filling:
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 stick unsalted butter
6 ounces semisweet chocolate
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

For the dough: Place flour in a mixing bowl and sift the cocoa powder
over it. Stir in the sugar, salt and baking powder. Rub in the butter
finely, leaving the mixture cool and powdery. Beat the egg and stir it
into the dough. Press the dough together and wrap and chill it.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set rack in the lower third of oven.
On a floured surface, roll the dough and line a buttered 10-inch tart
pan. Set aside while preparing filling.

In a saucepan, over medium heat, bring sugar and water to a boil. Add
butter and continue heating to melt butter. Off heat whisk in finely
cut chocolate. Whisk eggs with spices, then whisk in chocolate
mixture. Pour into tart shell.

Bake for about 30 minutes, until well risen and firm. Cool on a rack.
Unmold tart and serve with sweetened whipped cream.
