#flourlesscake

Although this is our most popular cake all year, it is especially appreciated this month. Try it at home for your Passover and Easter celebrations! 

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa 

3/4 cup granulated sugar

4 large eggs, separated

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Confectioners' sugar, for garnish 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8" x 3" round cake pan; line the bottom with a parchment paper circle. Lightly butter the parchment paper.

2. Combine the butter and chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan halfway filled with barely simmering water. 

3. Meanwhile, sift the cocoa and sugar into another bowl. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, combine the egg whites and salt. With a whip attachment set at medium-high speed, beat the whites until soft peaks form. Set both aside.

4. Remove the melted butter and chocolate from the simmering water. Stir until smooth and to release the heat. Add the cocoa mixture, egg yolks, vanilla, and one-quarter of the beaten whites. Stir with a whisk until the mixture is smooth. With a rubber spatula, gently fold in the remaining whites just until blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake on the center oven rack for 30 to 35 minutes, until a skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake just barely comes out clean. 

A chocolate flourless cake is a rich and decadent delight. This recipe makes a moist, gluten-free cake that's ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients: 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips. 1/2 cup unsalted butter. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 3 large eggs. 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1/4 cup heavy cream. 1/2 cup powdered sugar for decoration. Fresh berries for decoration.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 375F 190C and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. For 20 seconds at a time, melt the chocolate chips and butter in a bowl that can go in the microwave. Stir the mixture until it is smooth. Add the salt, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar and mix well. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each one. Fold in the cocoa powder until it is just mixed in. After getting the pan ready, pour the batter into it and smooth the top. Wait 20 to 25 minutes and see if a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs on it. The cake is done. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then move it to a wire rack to cool all the way down. Warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just starts to boil. Take it off the heat and add the semisweet chocolate chips. After one minute, stir it to make a ganache. Let the ganache drip down the sides of the cake as you pour it over it. Put the cake in the fridge for 30 minutes to make the ganache set. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top and add fresh berries before serving. Cut it up and enjoy!
