Flourless Chocolate Cake

Apparently I wasn't done with cooking for the day. I decided to bake something sweet. So here is the recipe for a simple flourless chocolate cake. It is grain and gluten free, but probably far from low-calorie. This makes a good size cake so be prepared to share. Hope you enjoy as much as I did!!


Flourless Chocolate Cake

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet tonight and it was still very good)
2 sticks butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1. Preheat oven to 350. Butter a 10-inch pan.

2. Melt chocolate and butter in the microwave in 30-second increments until melted. Stir in between increments. (Do not overheat)

3. When melted, whisk in sugar. Then add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each. 

4. Sift in cocoa powder and whisk until combined. Pour batter into pan.

5. Bake until top has formed a thin crust for about 35-45 minutes. Cool cake in pan for about 10 minutes before serving.

Dust with powdered sugar and serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
