FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE II

Perfect for chocolate lovers! Great for entertaining, deceptively easy to make. Perfect for people who can't have gluten. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream, or simply dusted with icing sugar. I flour the pan using cocoa powder so it won't leave white marks on the cake and keeps it totally gluten-free.

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the pan
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (not chips), chopped
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for dusting the cake
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
6 large eggs, separated
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and butter the inside of a spring-form pan. Melt the chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; stirring frequently until smooth. Stir in the sugar, cocoa powder and salt until all of the lumps are gone. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes.
  • Meanwhile, beat the egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until they form stiff peaks, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir the egg yolks into the cooled chocolate mixture, then stir in about a quarter of the whipped egg whites. Scrape this lightened chocolate mixture into the remaining whipped egg whites and gently fold until mostly combined (it's ok if there are some streaks of egg white). Pour into the prepared pan and bake until the center of the cake no longer wiggles, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan, on a wire rack (the cake will deflate slightly). Unlock the pan and dust the top of the cake with some cocoa powder. Cut into slices and serve with whipped cream.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h50m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
8 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
6 large eggs
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Dash of kosher salt
Powdered sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a springform pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with a circle of parchment. Coat the top of the paper with the spray.
  • Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler, stirring in 45-second intervals to avoid burning. Set aside to cool for several minutes.
  • In the bowl of a mixer, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar and eggs until fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the cocoa powder, vanilla and salt. Slowly drizzle in the cooled chocolate mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Rap the pan on the counter a couple of times to release any trapped air bubbles. Bake until just set on top, about 50 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Just before serving, remove the cake from the pan and place it on a platter. Sprinkle the top with sifted powdered sugar.

Tips:

  • For a smooth and lump-free batter, sift the almond flour and cocoa powder before mixing them with the other ingredients.
  • Use high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for an intense chocolate flavor.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites. Stiff peaks should form when you lift the whisk out of the bowl, but avoid overbeating as this can make the cake tough.
  • Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture gently to avoid deflating them.
  • Bake the cake in a water bath to create a moist and decadent texture.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
