Indulge in the rich and fudgy goodness of this Flourless Chocolate Cake. Made with high-quality dark chocolate, this gluten-free dessert is a decadent treat that is sure to impress.


Ingredients

Semisweet or Bittersweet Chocolate Cake:

  • 1 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)

Buttery Goodness:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter

Sweetness Factor:

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Essential Flavors:

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Eggs Galore:

  • 3 large eggs

Cocoa Power:

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Finishing Touch (Optional):

  • powdered sugar or cocoa powder for dusting


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Melt and Mix: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate together. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar, salt, and vanilla. Let cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time.
  3. Add Cocoa: Sift in the cocoa powder and stir until fully combined.
  4. Bake: Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 20–25 minutes until set. Cool, invert onto a plate, and dust with powdered sugar or cocoa before serving.

Notes

  • For a deeper chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate (at least 60% cacao).
  • This cake is rich and fudgy—serve with whipped cream, berries, or vanilla ice cream if desired.
  • Naturally gluten-free.
