Instructions
Making Dark Chocolate Flourless Cake is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter over low heat. Stir occasionally until smooth and fully combined.
3. Mix Sugar and Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.
4. Add Vanilla and Salt: Stir in the vanilla extract and salt into the sugar and egg mixture until evenly incorporated.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture. Stir until fully combined and smooth.
6. Incorporate Cocoa Powder: Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder into the chocolate mixture. Fold gently until no dry cocoa remains.
7. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
9. Cool: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for a beautiful finish.
These steps will guide you in creating this incredible cake effortlessly, ensuring a delicious result every time.
