Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (may use semi-sweet)
1 cup unsalted butter
2 teaspoons flour, divided
1/2 cup sugar
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Melt together the butter and chocolate in a small saucepan over very low heat, stirring to mix.
  • Remove from heat when almost melted (do not scorch).
  • Preheat your oven to 300F.
  • Fill a 9x13-inch roasting pan or casserole halfway with water and place it on the center shelf of the oven.
  • Lightly grease the sides and bottom of a 9x5-inch loaf pan, and dust with 1 teaspoon of flour; and cut out a square of waxed paper to fit the bottom of the pan; place paper in the bottom of pan and set aside.
  • Place sugar, eggs and remaining 1 teaspoon of flour into the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on high for about 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the chocolate, and beat another 15-30 seconds, until it is mixed well.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and set the loaf pan in the center of the casserole dish half-filled with water (in the oven).
  • Bake for approximately 75 minutes or until a light crust forms and a toothpick can be removed clean.
  • Cool the cake in the loaf pan on a wire rack for approximately 30 minutes, or until it cools down to room temp.
  • Cover pan and chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours or until set.
  • Serve garnished with powdered sugar or fresh raspberries and store unused portions in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cake will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature. This will help them incorporate more easily into the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cake from cracking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

This sinfully rich almost-flourless chocolate cake is the perfect dessert for any chocolate lover. It's easy to make and sure to impress your guests.

Here are some additional tips for making the best almost-flourless chocolate cake:

  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can bake the cake in a regular 9-inch round cake pan. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.
  • You can use any type of frosting you like on this cake. A simple ganache or whipped cream frosting would be delicious.
  • This cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
