Here’s a rich, decadent Flourless Chocolate Cake recipe — perfect for an elegant dessert or chocolate craving 🍫🎂
🍫 Flourless Chocolate Cake (Gluten-Free)
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 1 cup (170g) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (1 stick / 115g) unsalted butter
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- Optional toppings: powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh berries
🔥 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
- Preheat to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Melt Chocolate and Butter
- In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt chocolate and butter together.
- Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
3️⃣ Mix Eggs and Sugar
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla until light and slightly frothy.
4️⃣ Combine
- Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the eggs until smooth.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
5️⃣ Bake
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the top has a thin crust and the center is just set (it will be slightly soft).
- Cool in pan 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
6️⃣ Serve
- Dust with powdered sugar or cocoa powder.
- Add fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Best served slightly warm — rich and fudgy!
💡 Tips
- Room temperature eggs help prevent curdling when folding with chocolate.
- Optional espresso: Add 1 tsp instant espresso powder to chocolate for deeper flavor.
- Storage: Keeps in an airtight container for 2–3 days at room temp or in the fridge for up to a week.
- Make it extra fancy: Top with chocolate ganache or a drizzle of caramel.
