FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE



Flourless Chocolate Cake image

This gluten-free cake can be enjoyed at room temperature, but chilling it transforms the texture, making it deliciously dense.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the pan
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (not chips), chopped
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for dusting the cake
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
6 large eggs, separated
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and butter the inside of a spring-form pan. Melt the chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; stirring frequently until smooth. Stir in the sugar, cocoa powder and salt until all of the lumps are gone. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes.
  • Meanwhile, beat the egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until they form stiff peaks, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir the egg yolks into the cooled chocolate mixture, then stir in about a quarter of the whipped egg whites. Scrape this lightened chocolate mixture into the remaining whipped egg whites and gently fold until mostly combined (it's ok if there are some streaks of egg white). Pour into the prepared pan and bake until the center of the cake no longer wiggles, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan, on a wire rack (the cake will deflate slightly). Unlock the pan and dust the top of the cake with some cocoa powder. Cut into slices and serve with whipped cream.

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE II



Flourless Chocolate Cake II image

Perfect for chocolate lovers! Great for entertaining, deceptively easy to make. Perfect for people who can't have gluten. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream, or simply dusted with icing sugar. I flour the pan using cocoa powder so it won't leave white marks on the cake and keeps it totally gluten-free.

EASY FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE



Easy Flourless Chocolate Cake image

This will impress any guests you entertain and you don't have to tell them how easy it was! Serve with chocolate ganache and raspberry sauce. I used recipes I found here on Allrecipes.com for chocolate ganache (by INGRIDEVOGEL) and raspberry sauce (by The_Tattooed_Chef). The raspberry sauce complements all that chocolate and makes the cake moist. Both of these recipes are easy, simple, and exceptional as well.

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
6 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
Confectioners' sugar and/or cocoa powder, for dusting
Serving suggestion: Really Vanilly Whipped Cream, recipe follows, or ice cream
1 cup (1/2 pint) heavy or whipping cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla paste or extract
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 2-inch spring form pan with nonstick spray.
  • Put the chocolate, butter, and salt in a large microwave safe bowl. Melt in the microwave on 75 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir and microwave again until completely melted, about 2 minutes more. Alternatively, put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan without touching the water. Stir occasionally until melted.
  • Beat the eggs and sugar with a standing or handheld mixer until light and thickened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped eggs until evenly combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out wet but not gooey, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. Remove cake from the oven and cool on a rack.
  • When ready to serve remove ring from spring form mold. Dust cake with confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
  • Beat the cream and vanilla in a chilled non-reactive bowl with a whisk or an electric mixer just until they hold a loose peak. (Lift the beater from the cream and look at the shape of the peak at the end of the whisk; it should hold a lazy curve.) Sift the sugar over the cream and continue to beat just until it holds a soft peak. Take care not to over beat the cream or it will be look curdy. Serve, or refrigerate covered for up to 4 hours.

EASY FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE

This recipe is from a Ghirardelli wrapper of a bittersweet baking bar. I've tried a few different flourless chocolate cake recipes that separate the eggs, but the taste and texture are no different to me with this easy recipe. I get great comments about this cake every time I make it. I garnish it with whipping cream and raspberries and mint leaves if I have them.

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE



Flourless Chocolate Cake image

Crackly on top and fudgy yet tender in the center, this cake tastes like a complex restaurant dessert, but comes together effortlessly in one bowl. Chocolate chips save you the messy step of chopping chocolate bars and deliver deep flavor along with cocoa powder. If you don't have a springform pan, a regular cake pan lined with foil all around makes it easy to lift out the delicate cake, which melts in your mouth when served warm or at room temperature. Refrigerated or frozen leftovers take on a candylike chewiness, but a quick zap in the microwave will return it to just-baked softness. Slices are delicious on their own or with any creamy toppings.

Provided by Genevieve Ko

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup/168 grams unsalted butter, cut up, plus more for greasing the pan
1 cup/173 grams bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup/50 grams unsweetened natural cocoa powder
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Whipped cream or ice cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan, or press a large sheet of foil into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch round cake pan, smoothing the sides, and generously butter the foil.
  • Bring a few inches of water in a large saucepan to a simmer over medium heat. Set a large heatproof bowl over the saucepan and add the chocolate. When the chips look soft and melty, stir gently until smooth. Turn off the heat, and add the butter to the bowl. Stir gently until melted and smooth. Add the cocoa powder and stir until smooth, then take the bowl off the saucepan.
  • Stir in the granulated sugar until incorporated, then add the eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla, then scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake until crackly and dry on top, and a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with some crumbs attached.
  • Cool in the pan on a rack, then remove the sides of the springform pan or lift the cake out of the cake pan using the foil overhang. You can slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Or, to cut very neat slices, freeze the cooled cake until firm. Slice and warm up in the microwave or oven, if preferred. Serve the cake with whipped cream or ice cream, if you'd like. The cake can be wrapped and kept at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE

Treat someone to this flourless chocolate cake. It's ideal for anyone following a gluten-free diet, and makes an irresistible dessert with fresh berries

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

225g salted butter , cubed, plus more for the tin
300g dark chocolate , roughly chopped
1 tbsp coffee powder
6 large eggs , whites and yolks separated
100g soft light brown sugar
200g caster sugar
2 tsp vanilla paste
30g cocoa powder
berries , to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Butter a 23cm springform cake tin and line the base with baking parchment.
  • Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl in the microwave or over a pan of gently simmering water. Mix the coffee powder with 2 tbsp hot water until dissolved. Stir the coffee into the chocolate and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl for 2 mins with an electric whisk until soft peaks form. In another large bowl, whisk both the sugars, the vanilla and egg yolks for 5-8 mins, or until pale and fluffy. Sift the cocoa powder into the egg yolk mixture and mix gently to combine.
  • Stir the cooled chocolate into the egg yolk mixture, then gently fold through the egg whites until smooth. Transfer to the tin and bake for 1hr-1hr 20 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool, remove from the tin and serve with fresh berries, if you like.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of 60% or higher is ideal.
  • Make sure the butter is unsalted and at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cake to come out smooth and creamy.
  • Don't overcook the cake. The toothpick test is the best way to check if it's done. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake and if it comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, it's ready to come out of the oven.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help it to set and hold its shape.
  • Garnish the cake with fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings for a special touch.

Conclusion:

This flourless chocolate cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, chocolatey flavor and smooth, creamy texture, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this flourless chocolate cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
