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.

Time 3h50m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
8 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
6 large eggs
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Dash of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a springform pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with a circle of parchment. Coat the top of the paper with the spray.
  • Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler, stirring in 45-second intervals to avoid burning. Set aside to cool for several minutes.
  • In the bowl of a mixer, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar and eggs until fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the cocoa powder, vanilla and salt. Slowly drizzle in the cooled chocolate mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Rap the pan on the counter a couple of times to release any trapped air bubbles. Bake until just set on top, about 50 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.

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.

PERFECT FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE



Perfect Flourless Chocolate Cake image

This is the best chocolate cake I've ever eaten! Something between a mousse and a cake, it is so moist it will melt in your mouth like a chocolate bar. I tried about 7 different flourless chocolate cake recipes before I came up with this one which incorporates only the best of them all. This cake will only be as good as the chocolate you use, so make it good! If you are on a no-flour diet (for celiacs for instance) this cake is perfect- just use sweet rice flour to flour the pan instead of wheat flour. For an exotic treat, add 2 tsp key-lime zest or 2 tsp key-lime extract along with the vanilla extract. Cooking time does not include chilling time.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 large eggs (separated)
2/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon cooking oil or 1 tablespoon cooking spray, for greasing pan
2 tablespoons flour or 2 tablespoons rice flour, for dusting pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Oil and flour a 9-inch springform cake round.
  • Cut a piece of wax paper or parchment to fit inside the bottom of the pan, place the paper in the bottom of the pan.
  • In a double-boiler on gentle heat, melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth.
  • Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a clean mixing bowl (make sure there is no oil residue on the bowl or mixer attachments) beat the egg whites until they become cloudy and frothy; about 30 seconds.
  • Continue beating while adding the brown sugar and cream of tartar.
  • Beat until stiff peaks form- be careful not to over beat--this is most important!
  • If the eggs curdle, throw them away and start over with new egg whites, seriously.
  • Whisk the egg yolks and vanilla into the melted chocolate mixture in a large mixing bowl.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate (start by folding in about 1/3rd of the whites, then gently fold in the remaining whites), the mixture should end up fluffy and light.
  • Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Wrap the bottom of the pan with foil and place the pan in a deep cooking sheet with about 1/2 to 1 inch of water in it.
  • Bake the cake for about 60-70 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test.
  • Remove cake from oven and allow to cool for about an hour.
  • Gently run a knife around the edge of the pan, and then carefully invert the cake onto a flat plate or other surface.
  • Remove the paper from the bottom (now the top) of the cake.
  • Invert again onto the final plate for displaying the cake.
  • The cake can be eaten right away but it may fall slightly when it is cut- for best results, it should be refrigerated for at least 6 hours before serving.
