Delicious Flourless Chocolate Cake
Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 8 oz high-quality semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- For Serving:
- Whipped cream
- Fresh raspberries or strawberries
Instructions
Prep the Oven and Pan:
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped chocolate and butter together, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl.
Mix the Batter:
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate and butter, stirring until well combined.
Whisk in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth.
Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder and salt, then mix until just combined.
Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not runny batter).
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife along the edges to loosen it, then invert it onto a serving dish to cool completely.
Serve:
Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar.
Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries.
