Flourless chocolate cake is a dense, rich cake that is made without flour. It is typically made with chocolate, butter, sugar, and eggs. The cake is often served with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream. Oranges can be added to the cake batter for a citrusy flavor, and can even be used as a garnish. Flourless chocolate cake with oranges is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.

NIGELLA LAWSON FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE ORANGE CAKE
From the chocolate cake chapter in her book 'Feast'. This is one of the best chocolate cakes I have ever made. I sometimes add the juice and zest of half a lemon to the batter.

Steps:
- Put the whole orange or oranges in a pan with some cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 2 hours or until soft.
- Drain, and when cool, cut the oranges in half and remove any big pips.
- Then pulp everything - pith, peel and all - in a food processor.
- Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/180°C Butter and line a 20cm springform tin.
- Add the eggs, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, almonds, sugar and cocoa to the orange in the food processor. Run the motor until you have a cohesive cake mixture, but slightly knobbly with the flecks of puréed orange.
- Pour and scrape into the cake tin and bake for an hour, by which time a cake tester should come out pretty well clean. Check after 45 minutes because you may have to cover with foil to prevent the cake burning before it is cooked through, or indeed it may need a little less than an hour; it all depends on your oven.
- Leave the cake to get cool in the tin, on a cooling rack. When the cake is cold you can take it out of the tin. Decorate with strips of orange peel or coarsely grated zest if you so wish, but it is darkly beautiful in its plain, unadorned state.

One of my friend's has celiac disease and cannot eat anything with gluten. Unfortunately for her, this usually means she cannot enjoy a lot of foods, particularly desserts, at gatherings. I made this cake with her in mind for our holiday party. It is rather time-consuming but definately worth it! The cake was rich and decadent and my friends really enjoyed it.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter an 11-by-17-inch baking sheet with 1/2-inch sides, line with parchment paper and butter the paper.
- Bring the orange juice to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan and add one cup of the sugar. Remove from the heat. Break up the chocolate and add it, stirring until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the softened butter a little at a time, stir well and set aside.
- Beat the eggs with the remaining sugar for 12 minutes, until very thick and light. Gently fold a third of the eggs into the chocolate mixture. Fold in the rest.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake until set, about 15 minutes. The surface of the cake will have dulled somewhat and have become firmer to the touch. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
- Meanwhile remove all the skin and pith from the oranges, separate the sections and toss with the liqueur. Refrigerate.
- Run a knife around the edge of the cake in the pan. Place a large flat baking sheet over the cooled cake, invert, then lift off the baking pan. Peel the parchment paper off the cake.
- To serve, preheat the oven to 150 degrees. Cut large squares of the cake and, using a wide spatula, place each on an ovenproof plate. Place in the oven to warm for about five minutes. Arrange the orange sections and a little of their syrup in a decorative pattern on the cake or around it, sift a little confectioners' sugar over the top and serve.

Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher is ideal.
- Make sure the chocolate and butter are melted smoothly before adding the other ingredients.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Be careful not to overcook the cake. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. This will help the cake to set and develop its full flavor.
- Serve the cake with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries for a delicious dessert.
Conclusion:
This flourless chocolate cake with oranges is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of chocolate and orange flavors is a classic that is sure to please everyone.
