Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 8 ounces high-quality semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar or cocoa powder, for dusting (optional)
- Fresh berries, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Stir the granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Whisk in the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake has set and the top has formed a thin crust. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, remove the sides of the springform pan. Dust the cake with powdered sugar or cocoa powder before serving, if desired.
- Garnish with fresh berries for a pop of color and a refreshing contrast to the rich chocolate.
This Decadent Flourless Chocolate Cake is a stunning dessert that's gluten-free, making it a wonderful option for guests with dietary restrictions. Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra layer of indulgence.
