CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO CAKE (FLOURLESS)



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.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for cake pan
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, preferably 70 percent cacao, chopped
6 large eggs, separated, room temperature
1 cup sugar, divided
3 tablespoons instant-espresso powder
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Chocolate Glaze for Flourless Chocolate Espresso Cake

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Invert bottom of a 9-inch springform pan (so cake will slide easily onto serving plate) and line with a parchment round; butter parchment. Melt butter and chocolate, stirring until smooth, in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.
  • Beat together egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Add espresso powder and salt; beat until combined, about 1 minute. Add vanilla and melted-chocolate mixture; beat about 1 minute more.
  • In another bowl, beat egg whites on medium-high speed until foamy. Increase speed to high; gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Fold into chocolate mixture in 3 batches. Transfer batter to pan and bake until set, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cake cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Remove side of pan; transfer cake to a serving plate. Serve glaze alongside cake.

Tips:

  • Use good quality espresso powder or finely ground coffee for a rich coffee flavor.
  • Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar, this will help to create a smooth and creamy batter.
  • Do not overbeat the egg whites, otherwise they will become dry and stiff.
  • Fold the egg whites into the batter gently, using a spatula, to avoid deflating them.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven, this will help to prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it, this will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
