Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for cake pan
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, preferably 70 percent cacao, chopped
6 large eggs, separated, room temperature
1 cup sugar, divided
3 tablespoons instant-espresso powder
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Chocolate Glaze for Flourless Chocolate Espresso Cake

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Invert bottom of a 9-inch springform pan (so cake will slide easily onto serving plate) and line with a parchment round; butter parchment. Melt butter and chocolate, stirring until smooth, in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.
  • Beat together egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Add espresso powder and salt; beat until combined, about 1 minute. Add vanilla and melted-chocolate mixture; beat about 1 minute more.
  • In another bowl, beat egg whites on medium-high speed until foamy. Increase speed to high; gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Fold into chocolate mixture in 3 batches. Transfer batter to pan and bake until set, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cake cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Remove side of pan; transfer cake to a serving plate. Serve glaze alongside cake.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out at all. It was a dense, gooey mess.

I was disappointed with this cake. It was dry and crumbly, and the espresso flavor was overpowering.

I'm not usually a fan of flourless chocolate cakes, but this one was surprisingly good. The texture was moist and fudgy, and the espresso added a nice depth of flavor.
