Gluten Free Flourless Chocolate Cake Recipe
Ingredients
This gluten free flourless chocolate cake is incredibly rich, decadent and delicious. To make it, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate (chopped into small pieces)
- 3/4 cup of unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 5 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
Instructions
To make this gluten free flourless chocolate cake, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9-inch springform pan, then line the bottom with parchment paper. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate together in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval to ensure the chocolate doesn’t burn. Once the chocolate and butter are melted and fully combined, set this bowl aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks, sugar, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is thick, creamy, and pale yellow in color. Pour the cooled melted chocolate and butter mixture into the yolk mixture and whisk to combine. Once fully combined, add in the cocoa powder and vanilla extract and whisk until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Carefully fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, making sure not to overmix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once the cake has finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely before transferring it to a serving plate. Dust the cake with the powdered sugar before serving.
