Flourless Chocolate Cake is a rich and decadent dessert with an ultra-smooth, truffle-like texture. Naturally gluten-free, it’s perfect for any celebration or elegant evening treat.
Ingredients for this Flourless Chocolate Cake:
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ½ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 18 (1-ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cubed
- 6 large eggs
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water, and salt. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat.
- Place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot sugar mixture over and stir until fully melted and smooth.
- Let the mixture cool slightly. Whisk in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Set the cake pan into a larger baking dish and pour hot water around it, halfway up the sides (water bath method).
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the center is just set. Remove from water bath and cool completely.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Invert onto a plate and garnish as desired.
Flourless Chocolate Cake can be served plain, or topped with whipped cream, berries, or a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra touch.
