Flourless Chocolate Cake

Since there is no flour in this cake, it doesn’t rise and is a very rich and dense cake with beautiful chocolate flavor. Pair it with a nice vanilla sauce with some candied almonds or just the cake with coffee…yumm!

It calls for more eggs than a regular cake so its really moist, therefore you don’t need any kind of frosting on it- saves on some extra sugar. I added some coffee to the cake batter to enhance the chocolate flavor. Since it does not require a lot of ingredients its important to use good quality/nice tasting cocoa and chocolate, it makes all the difference.

Preheat the oven at 350F. Melt chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or a microwave till its all combined and smooth, bring to room temperature. In a big bowl mix cocoa powder and sugar together with a whisk. Add the eggs one by one and mix it completely till it forms into a batter like consistency. Mix in the room temperature chocolate and butter and mix till its combined nicely. Mix in the coffee and vanilla extract.
