Flourless chocolate cake is the ultimate dessert for those who crave a dense, rich, and velvety chocolate experience. Without the use of flour, this cake has an incredibly moist texture and an intense chocolate flavor.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (170g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (42g) unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove over low heat, stirring until smooth.
- Mix in sugar, salt, and vanilla, stirring to combine.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
- Add the cocoa powder, mixing until smooth and well blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cake has set and a thin crust has formed on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and transfer to a cooling rack.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar, serve with whipped cream, or top with fresh berries.
Enjoy this deliciously rich, flourless chocolate cake!
