Description

This Flourless Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache is a decadent dessert classic. With its rich chocolate flavor and silky texture, every bite is a chocolate lover’s dream.


Ingredients

Cake:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Pinch of salt

Ganache:

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake with non-stick cooking spray and line the bottom with a parchment paper round.
  2. Place the butter and chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the chocolate chips are melted and smooth. Remove from microwave. Whisk in the sugar then the eggs one at a time until batter is smooth. Add the cocoa powder, vanilla and salt and then whisk until well incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  3. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in pan.
  4. For the ganache, place the chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on low power until just melted, about 1 minute. Whisk until completely melted and then whisk in the heavy cream until smooth. Let cool for a few minutes. If the ganache is too thick, whisk in a little more heavy cream.
  5. Invert cake onto a serving plate. Spread ganache over the cake.
  6. Garnish with raspberries and powdered sugar, if desired.
