Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb bittersweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
1/2 cup unsalted butter
9 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups heavy cream, cold
confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Put the chocolate and butter into the top of a double boiler (or in a heatproof bowl) and heat over (but not touching) about 1 inch of simmering water until melted.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar in a mixing bowl until light yellow in color. Whisk a little of the chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs - this will keep the eggs from scrambling from the heat of the chocolate, then whisk in the rest of the chocolate mixture.
  • Beat the egg whites in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form and fold into the chocolate mixture. Pour into the prepared pan and bake until the cake is set, the top starts to crack and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it, 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes, then remove sides of pan.
  • While the cake is cooking, whip the cream until it becomes light and fluffy.
  • Serve at room temperature dusted with confectioners' sugar and topped with whipped cream and fresh berries.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for pan
8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
6 large eggs, separating yolks and egg whites
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Sweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees with the rack in the center. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
  • Place butter and chocolate in a large heatproof bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until completely melted. Let cool slightly. Whisk in egg yolks.
  • In a large bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar, and continue beating until glossy stiff peaks form. Whisk 1/4 of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture; then gently fold in remaining egg whites.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan, and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Bake until the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan and is set in the center, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack; remove sides of pan. Serve at room temperature, dusted with confectioners' sugar. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cake will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Make sure the butter and chocolate are melted smoothly. If the butter and chocolate are not melted smoothly, the cake will be lumpy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a water bath. Baking the cake in a water bath will help to prevent the cake from cracking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. The cake will be easier to cut and serve if it is completely cool.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Cracked Earth Flourless Chocolate Cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is rich and chocolatey, with a crispy cracked earth topping. It is easy to make and can be served with a variety of toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.
