Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Spring form cake pan

Ingredients

Cake Ingredients:

  • 8 tbsp 1 stick unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup Sugar
  • 1 ¼ Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ tsp Himalayan salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 3 large Eggs + (1 egg yolk only)
  • ½ cup Nestle cocoa powder
  • ½ cup Heavy whipping cream 

Topping Ingredients:

  • Powdered sugar
  • Berries of your choice (Optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan, then line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the chopped bittersweet chocolate and butter, stirring occasionally until smooth and well combined.
  • Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the granulated sugar until it dissolves completely.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
  • Sift the cocoa powder into the mixture and add the vanilla extract and salt. Gently fold everything together until the batter is smooth and glossy.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack or refrigerate to cool completely.

Notes

Tips for Baking a Perfect Flourless Chocolate Cake

  • Use high-quality chocolate and cocoa powder for the best flavor. The quality of ingredients will greatly impact the taste of the final cake.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cake as it can become dry. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time and test for doneness using a toothpick.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from breaking apart.
  • Dust the cake with powdered sugar or cocoa powder before serving for an elegant finishing touch.
