Flourless Chocolate Cake Recipe with Pictures
1/2 cup of water1/4 cup of sugar 5 tablespoons of butter 9 ounces of 60% cocoa baking chocolate*, broken up 3 large eggs Preheat oven to 350°F. A 9-inch silicone pan is perfect for this recipe. Or grease a 9-inch round cake pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
Combine the water, sugar, butter and chocolate in a large saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to prevent burning. Stir till smooth.
When all the chocolate has melted remove from heat. Let cool. Then add the eggs to the chocolate mixture, stirring vigorously, till well blended.
Place the cake pan inside a 13x9-inch baking pan. Pour the batter into the 9-inch pan. If necessary, gently shake the pan to level the batter. Then to the large pan add water till the water level reaches halfway up the side of the cake pan. Bake for about 40 minutes. Or until the center of the cake doesn't jiggle when the pan is gently shaken. Carefully remove the cake pan from the water. Let cool.
Then you can top it with a ganache while still in the pan. Or remove it to a serving plate and then add ganache. Or leave it plain and before serving top each slice with whipped cream. Refrigerate several hours before serving. *I used Ghirardelli 60% cocoa, baking chocolate. You can use a dark baking chocolate with a higher or lower cocoa percentage to suit your taste. The recipe can be doubled.
