Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup butter, cubed
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 ¼ cups white sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
6 eggs
1 ½ cups white sugar
¼ cup water
1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter the bottom of a 10 inch springform pan, and line with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Stir in chocolate, and continue to stir until almost melted. Remove from heat, and stir until melted and smooth. In a large bowl, stir together 1 1/4 cups sugar and the cocoa powder. Whisk in the eggs until well blended, then whisk in the chocolate and butter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes in the preheated oven. The cake is ready when the edges have nicely puffed and the surface is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken. Cool cake in the pan over a wire rack. Run a knife around the sides of the pan to loosen the cake, then remove the sides of the pan, and invert onto a serving plate. Remove the parchment paper.
  • In a heavy saucepan, stir together 1 1/2 cups of sugar, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook without stirring until the syrup is a deep amber color. For an accurate color check, dip a metal spoon into the syrup and lift it out of the pan to check the color. Once the syrup is amber, remove from the heat. Gradually stir in the cream. The mixture will bubble vigorously. If lumps form, stir gently over low heat to dissolve them. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • Cut the cake into wedges while warm, and serve with caramel sauce spooned over it. You can also chill the cake and sauce, then warm again before serving.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick butter spray
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 stick cold butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces hazelnut liqueur (recommended: Frangelico)
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder, sifted
3 eggs, beaten
Chocolate Ganache, recipe follows
Berries, garnish
Powdered sugar, garnish
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch round cake pan with nonstick butter spray and line bottom with parchment.
  • Put the chocolate, butter, vanilla and hazelnut liqueur in a large bowl on top of a double boiler. Stir the mixture frequently until combined and smooth. Remove the chocolate from heat and put the bowl into an "ice bath" to cool the chocolate.
  • Cook's Note: This step is important so the eggs will not cook when added to the chocolate. Mix in the sugar and cocoa powder. Stir in the eggs and pour into the prepared cake pan. Put the cake pan on a sheet tray and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and invert onto a rack over a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Pour the ganache over the cake. Allow the cake to cool and set for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh berries and powdered sugar.
  • Put the chocolate into a large bowl. Heat the cream in a small pot, over low heat, until hot to the touch. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Mix well with a rubber spatula until the chocolate melts.

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE-DATE CAKE



Flourless Chocolate-Date Cake image

A purée of bourbon and plump Medjool dates suffuses this divinely intense dessert; it gets swirled into both the batter and the caramel glaze. This recipe comes from Martha Stewart's Cake Perfection: 100+ Recipes for the Sweet Classic, From Simple to Stunning (Clarkson Potter).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 ounces medjool dates, pitted
2/3 cup bourbon
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
Dutch-process cocoa powder, for pan
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate (70 percent cacao), chopped
6 large eggs, separated, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
Lightly sweetened whipped cream, for Serving

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, bring dates and bourbon to a simmer; cook, stirring, until almost all of liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat; cover and let cool. Purée in a food processor until smooth. (You should have about 1 cup.)
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan. Line bottom with parchment; butter parchment. Dust pan with cocoa, tapping out any excess.
  • In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pan of simmering water, melt butter and chocolate, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat. Whisk in 2/3 cup date purée. Let cool; whisk in egg yolks, kosher salt, and cinnamon.
  • Beat egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Slowly add 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff glossy peaks form. Fold one-third of whites into chocolate mixture, then fold in remaining whites. Transfer to prepared pan, smoothing top with an offset spatula.
  • Bake until set, cracking a bit on edges, and shiny in center, about 30 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool completely. Run a paring knife around sides of pan; remove from pan and transfer to a cake plate.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring remaining 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Let boil, without stirring, until deep golden brown, swirling pan to color evenly, and washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to keep crystals from forming, 10 to 11 minutes. Remove from heat; carefully pour in cream (it will spatter), stirring to combine. Stir in remaining 1/3 cup date purée. Pass caramel through a fine sieve to remove lumps. Let cool until thick but pourable, about 30 minutes.
  • Pour caramel over cake, spreading with an offset spatula so it drips over sides. Sprinkle with flaky salt. Slice cake with a knife dipped in hot water, then wiped down between slices; serve with whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

This flourless chocolate cake with caramel sauce is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
