Chocolate Espresso Cake (flourless) image

I got this recipe from a friend I used to work with, who maintains that it's VITAL to use fresh espresso. This cake is very rich and fudge-like. I've tried cutting the recipe in half (unsucessfully) so I prefer to make the whole cake and just share it with others. My co-worker's recipe called for offering it with raspberry sauce, but I never asked for that part of the recipe as I just can't mix chocolate and fruit.

This cake is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. The espresso flavor is subtle but noticeable, and the cake is moist and rich. I highly recommend it.

This recipe was a disaster. The cake didn't rise and it was dry and crumbly. I don't recommend it.

I'm not a big fan of espresso, but I still enjoyed this cake. The chocolate flavor was strong and the cake was moist and fudgy. I would definitely make it again, but I might omit the espresso next time.
