Flourless chocolate cake is a rich and decadent dessert that's perfect for chocolate lovers. This recipe, free of any flour, results in a dense and fudgy texture that melts in your mouth. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create an indulgent treat that's sure to impress.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch springform or cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate candies and butter.
- Melt them together using a double boiler method (placing the bowl over a saucepan with simmering water) or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Let the mixture cool slightly.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the 7 eggs and 6 oz of powdered sugar together using an electric mixer on medium-high speed.
- Continue to beat until the mixture is thick, pale, and has doubled in volume, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- In another bowl, sift together the dry cocoa powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Set aside.
- Gently fold the cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the beaten eggs and sugar using a spatula.
- Carefully fold in the cocoa and salt mixture in thirds to ensure it is evenly distributed without deflating the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
8. Cool:
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
- Run a knife around the edges to loosen, then remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once completely cooled, sprinkle the remaining 2 oz of powdered sugar over the top of the cake for decoration.
- Slice and serve. This cake is delicious on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
- Ensure that your eggs are at room temperature before you start, as this helps achieve a better texture.
- Use high-quality chocolate candies for a more intense chocolate flavor.
- When melting butter and chocolate, do so slowly and gently to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Sift the dry cocoa powder to remove any lumps for a smoother batter.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing it to prevent it from falling apart.
- For an extra touch, you can dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or add a dollop of whipped cream when serving.
With its rich, fudgy texture and deep chocolate flavor, this flourless chocolate cake is an indulgent dessert that's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. By following these steps and tips, you'll have a stunning dessert that's perfect for any special occasion or just because. Enjoy every delicious bite!
