Chocolate Espresso Cake (flourless) image

I got this recipe from a friend I used to work with, who maintains that it's VITAL to use fresh espresso. This cake is very rich and fudge-like. I've tried cutting the recipe in half (unsucessfully) so I prefer to make the whole cake and just share it with others. My co-worker's recipe called for offering it with raspberry sauce, but I never asked for that part of the recipe as I just can't mix chocolate and fruit.

This cake is a bit too dense for me, but it's still very good.

This cake was a bit too rich for me, but it was still very good. I think next time I'll use a little less chocolate.

This cake is a bit tricky to make, but it's definitely worth the effort. I had to be careful not to overmix the batter, and I had to make sure my oven temperature was just right. But in the end, it turned out perfectly!

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate cake, but this one is an exception. It's not too sweet, and the espresso flavor really balances out the richness of the chocolate.
