Flourless chocolate cake


Flour really just takes away from space that chocolate could be occupying :) I decided to make this cake as the "dessert" course for a brunch I was having. The cake is super easy and is VERY rich. It is best served in very small slices with freshly whipped cream and berries.


The recipe calls for semi-sweet chocolate (usually up to 75% cacao). It goes without saying that the quality of the chocolate will determine the quality of the final cake. I personally love Cailbo Belgian chocolate - YUMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Flourlesss Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:
  • 4 oz best quality semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened butter
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2tsp vanilla
  • 3 eggs

Method:

Preheat oven to 300F

Melt chocolate and butter in heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave. Whisk until smooth and creamy.



Add sugar, cocoa, vanilla and beaten eggs. Pour mix in 8 inch cake pan that has been buttered and dusted with cocoa. Bake for 30 mins. Do NOT over bake! It will look a bit like it's not completely done but it is.

Enjoy the silky texture with your girlfriends :)
