Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 °F. Lightly grease a 9" removable bottom tart pan, springform pan, or cake pan. If using a cake pan, cut a piece of parchment paper to fit, place it in the bottom of the pan, and grease the parchment paper.
- Combine the semisweet chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 50% power in 1 minute increments until the butter is melted and the chocolate is soft, whisking between each microwave session. Whisk until the chocolate completely melts. Whisk in the sugar, salt, and vanilla. Add in the eggs, whisking until smooth, followed by the cocoa powder. Mix just to combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes. The top should be just set, and an instant-read thermometer should register at least 200 °F when inserted into the center of the cake.
- Remove the cake from the oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Loosen the edges with a knife and remove the sides (tart or springform pan) or invert onto a wire rack (cake pan) to fully cool.
- Combine the bittersweet chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until the cream is hot, but not yet simmering. Remove from the microwave and stir with a spoon until the chocolate melts and the mixture is completely smooth. Spoon the ganache over the cake, spreading to almost the edges with an offset spatula. Add berries or sprinkle almonds on the ganache before it sets. Allow the ganache to fully cool before serving.

CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour an 8-inch round cake pan, then line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time. Mix in the chocolate syrup and vanilla. Add the flour and mix until just combined. Don't overbeat, or the cake will be tough.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until just set in the middle. Don't overbake! Let cool thoroughly in the pan.

- Place the cake upside down on a wire rack and pour the glaze evenly over the top, making sure to cover the entire cake and sides. You can tilt the rack to smooth the glaze.

EASY FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE
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
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.

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.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, as this will help to create a smooth and consistent batter.
- Do not overbeat the egg whites, as this can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a water bath to prevent it from drying out.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it.
- If you do not have rosemary, you can substitute another herb, such as thyme or sage.
- The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
This flourless chocolate cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is rich and chocolatey, with a hint of rosemary that adds a unique flavor. The rosemary ganache is the perfect complement to the cake, and it adds a touch of sweetness and creaminess. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
