Re: give me your flourless chocolate cake recipie

  • Wow-- nobody? I don't care much for flourless chocolate cakes, but this recipe has been well-received in the past:


    This recipe is from the Epicurious website. The ingredients are very simple, as are the steps (everything is mixed in one bowl- yay to less cleaning time!).

    Flourless Chocolate Cake

    Ingredients:
    4 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened)
    1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
    3/4 cup sugar
    3 large eggs
    1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder plus additional for sprinkling

    Preheat oven to 375?F and butter an 8-inch round baking pan. Line bottom with a round of wax paper and butter paper. Chop chocolate into small pieces. In a double boiler or metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate with butter, stirring, until smooth. Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat and whisk sugar into chocolate mixture. Add eggs and whisk well. Sift 1/2 cup cocoa powder over chocolate mixture and whisk until just combined. Pour batter into pan and bake in middle of oven 25 minutes, or until top has formed a thin crust. Cool cake in pan on a rack 5 minutes and invert onto a serving plate. Dust cake with additional cocoa powder and serve with ice cream if desired. (Cake keeps, after being cooled completely, in an airtight container, 1 week.)

    The recipe does require a double boiler or a bowl over a pot of barely simmering water. Also wax or parchment paper is imperative to line the bottom of the pan (and don?t forget to butter underneath and on top of the paper. This allows the cake to come out smoothly?) And finally, it?s not in the recipe, but a small sprinkling of confectioners sugar on top is a nice touch.

    Wow-- nobody?

    Seriously Stick out tongue

    I started to post it on WC, but I figured with Meghan, Breanne, and you + anyone else I haven't discovered yet I would have enough choices.

    I think in addition to cake I am also going to make some ployes with fruit, chocolate sauce, and powdered sugar
