Hi Bold Bakers! It’s that time of year again! I can’t even believe Easter Sunday and Passover are just around the corner. I love holidays because they’re the best excuse to have a feast. No matter what holiday you’re celebrating, my Flourless Chocolate Cake recipe is festive and decadent – simply put, it’s just incredible! Already have an account? You’re definitely in for a real treat – this is the best flourless chocolate cake I’ve tried. Just like the middle of a freshly baked brownie, this cake is fudgy, rich, packed with chocolate and then some. For being so indulgent, this cake is super simple to whip up.
How Do You Make Flourless Chocolate Cake?
You start with melting together more than a cup of good quality chocolate and butter. If you had any reservations, just think: how could this be bad with chocolate and butter?! The remainder of this chocolate flourless cake recipe really is just a matter of separating your eggs. Once you’ve added the egg yolks into the chocolate mixture, whip the egg whites into stiff peaks and fold them into the chocolate batter; this really brings the cake together.
This Flourless Chocolate Cake is sets firmly on the outside and remains fudgy to its core. In my world, you cannot have a cake without some form of topping or decoration so in big and bold fashion, this baby is getting a thick and beautiful chocolate ganache. But I don’t stop there – this ganache is getting sprinkled with lovely chocolate shavings for a nest of vibrantly painted Chocolate Easter Eggs (of course, feel free to make it your own with your favorite toppings!).
So you may be wondering, Gemma, is this chocolate cake gluten free? YES! Since we’re omitting the flour, this cake is entirely free from that pesky gluten. I cannot wait for you Bold Bakers to dig into this one! Don’t miss more of my Easter & Spring Desserts including my Homemade Chocolate Eggs and Best-Ever Carrot Cake.
