Flourless chocolate cake

Flourless chocolate cake is a rich and decadent dessert that boasts a dense, fudgy texture and a deep chocolate flavor. It is perfect for those who are gluten intolerant or anyone who simply loves chocolate. This recipe uses just four simple ingredients to create a mouth-watering cake that is sure to impress your friends and family.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g
4 eggs
200g
1 cup sugar
200g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. Melt the Butter and Chocolate:
In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until both the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is pale, thick, and doubled in volume. This should take about 5 minutes.
4. Combine Mixtures:
Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the beaten eggs and sugar. Use a spatula to gently combine the ingredients until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to retain the aerated texture.
5. Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
6. Cool:
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen the cake and turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Serve:
Once cooled, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar, drizzle with chocolate ganache, or serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh berries for an extra touch.
8. Enjoy:
Slice and enjoy your rich, decadent flourless chocolate cake!

Tips:

- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.

- Make sure to melt the chocolate and butter slowly to avoid burning them.

- Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan to prevent it from falling apart.

- To enhance the flavor, you can add a pinch of salt or a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.

- Serve the cake with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or fresh berries.

This flourless chocolate cake is not only easy to make but it also delivers a luxurious chocolate experience with every bite. Whether you are serving it at a special occasion or simply indulging in a chocolate craving, this recipe is sure to become a favorite. Enjoy the simplicity of the ingredients and the complexity of the flavors in this delightful dessert.
