There’s many reasons why we love an old-fashioned flourless chocolate cake. The number one reason is that’s it’s completely grain free meaning we feel less guilty for over indulging (which we always do). The second is that it’s so easy to throw together. The third is, well, because we’re chocolate addicts and you don’t get more chocolate-y than this dessert!

Learn to make this ultra-indulgent dessert with us in our latest online cooking class. One bite of this flourless chocolate cake and you’ll be craving it for the rest of your life.

Flourless Chocolate Cake Recipe

Ingredients:
1 stick unsalted butter
1 lb bittersweet or dark chocolate, roughly chopped into 1-inch pieces
9 large eggs, separated
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 pinch salt
Powdered sugar and chocolate shavings for garnish

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. Melt chocolate and butter over a bain-marie, stirring occasionally. While chocolate is melting, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together by hand until a light yellow color. Mix a little of the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture to temper. Then mix in the rest of the chocolate mixture and the salt. Set aside.

3. With standing mixer or hand mixer, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Then, fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Pour into a greased 9-inch springform pan and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the top starts to crack. While cake is baking, make whipped cream using the 2 cups of heavy cream. You can leave plain or season with a tsp of vanilla extract and a pinch of powdered sugar.

4. When cake is done, let sit for 15 minutes before removing the sides. Garnish with powdered sugar and chocolate shavings.
