Description
Indulge in a rich and decadent Flourless Chocolate Cake that is perfect for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the chopped chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Stir in the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt into the chocolate mixture until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Sift the cocoa powder over the chocolate mixture and fold it in gently until no streaks remain.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cake has set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add 1 teaspoon of espresso powder to the chocolate mixture before adding the eggs.
- Serve with whipped cream or fresh berries for an added touch of sweetness and color.
