• Vanilla extract; for subtle flavor
• Eggs (separate the egg yolks and egg whites); lend even more richness and moisture. Plus, they help bind the batter together.
• Cocoa powder; I used Dutch-processed cocoa powder to achieve a deliciously decadent chocolate flavor and dark color for this chocolate cake. for the most beautifully rich chocolate flavor and color.

How To Make Flourless Chocolate Cake

To make this flourless chocolate cake, you need to carefully read the steps. I know it’s kind a lot and a bit confusing, but I hope you can understand it very well.

First thing first, melting butter and chocolate.

Prepare a large bowl and melt the chocolate together with butter using the double boiler technique. To do this, place the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Make sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir the mixture until the chocolate and butter melt and combine evenly. Afterward, let the mixture sit until it’s not too hot.

Secondly, In another bowl, mix together the egg yolks, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, espresso powder, and heavy cream. Stir until well combined and the mixture is homogeneous.

Third, Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture (from step 1) into the bowl with the egg mixture (from step 2). Gently stir until all the ingredients become smooth.

On the other side, In a separate bowl, use a mixer to beat the egg whites and cream of tartar. Then, gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to mix at high speed until the egg whites are soft peaks.

Fourth, Fold a small portion of the egg white mixture (from step 4) into the chocolate mixture (from step 3). Stir until evenly mixed.

Then, Slowly incorporate the remaining egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture, using a folding technique (gently folding the batter from bottom to top) to ensure the batter remains light and airy.

Next step Filling and Baking.

Start with pouring the batter into a baking pan lined with parchment paper.

Then, Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25 minutes or until the cake is cooked. Use a toothpick or skewer to check the cake’s final result. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready.

Remove the cake from the pan and decorate it with icing sugar.

Finally, Slice the cake and Serve this beautiful healthy mouthwatering flourless chocolate cake. If you think chocolate cake will be too much or oversweet, not this time. This just perfect sweetness for me and my family.
