Flourless Chocolate Cake
Flourless chocolate cake is for true chocolate lovers

Our best flourless chocolate cake also happens to be easy to make, with just a handful of ingredients that come together in about an hour. The lack of flour makes this cake extra fudgy, extra chocolatey, and utterly divine. It’s so rich, it doesn’t even need frosting, but we wouldn’t discourage a dollop of whipped cream. And if this intensely chocolatey treat wasn't heavenly enough, it also happens to be a gluten-free dessert (and a perfect Passover dessert!).
How to make flourless chocolate cake
Start with a lot of chocolate (this is a chocolate dessert, after all!) melted in butter. We prefer bittersweet chocolate for a deep, chocolatey flavor, but you can swap in any rich, dark bar that you like (we’d avoid milk and white chocolate for this recipe). The butter and chocolate creates an incredibly silky base that you’ll want to eat straight from the bowl, but it’s about to get even better.
Add a little bit of sugar to the chocolate mixture, then whisk in 6 eggs, 1 at a time. Stir in almond extract for a sweet, special flavor and cocoa powder (because, chocolate) until smooth.
And that’s it! Just pour it into your pan and bake for 25 to 28 minutes. Once it has cooled, dust it with cocoa powder and serve with whipped cream.
