Instructions

  • Grease an 8-inch cake pan with softened butter and place a cutout piece of parchment paper inside. Then add more softened butter on top of the parchment and on the sides of the pan. Set aside for later.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add 6 oz finely chopped semisweet baking chocolate along with the salted butter. Melt in the microwave in intervals being careful not to overheat the chocolate. Heat just until melted and give it a mix.
  • Now add the sugar, vanilla, whisked eggs, and espresso powder. Mix with a whisk until smooth.
    Steps to make Flourless Chocolate Cake: melt the butter and chocolate together, then add the vanilla, eggs, sugar, and espresso powder, and whisk together.
  • Add in the Dutch cocoa powder and give it another mix.
  • Pour the cake batter into your prepared pan and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes. Once it’s baked, let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then run a thin knife along the edge and flip it over onto a cooling rack (so the bottom is now the top). Let it cool completely.
    Steps to make Flourless Chocolate Cake: add the cocoa powder and then pour the whisked batter into the cake pan and bake.
  • To make the chocolate ganache, add the semisweet chocolate chips to a bowl. Bring the heavy cream to a simmer (stove top or microwave). Then pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips.
  • Stir until smooth, then add the unsalted softened butter and stir again until fully melted and smooth. If the butter is too cold, you can warm up the mixture in the microwave in 10-second intervals.
  • Place a plate under the cooling rack and pour the warm chocolate ganache over the cake. Make sure that the cake is flipped over so the bottom is now the top. This makes the cake look a lot smoother after it’s set. Let the chocolate ganache set in the fridge before slicing and serving.
