Easy Flourless Chocolate Fudge Cake

This rich chocolate cake is like a cross between fudge, cake and a brownie. It’s moist, packed with chocolate flavor and has a melt in your mouth texture. And since this cake doesn’t use flour, it’s gluten-free as well. I’ve topped this decadent chocolate cake with an easy ganache glaze, because more chocolate is always better in my book, but a dusting of powdered sugar would work just as well. So, whether you’re looking for a great chocolate cake, an easy dessert or a gluten-free treat, this recipe is for you. Ingredients (Makes one 8-inch (20 cm) cake) -Cake Chocolate, 60% Cacao 5 oz (142 g) Butter, unsalted ½ cup (113 g) 3 Large Eggs (150 g) Sugar, granulated ¾ cup (150 g) Salt ½ tsp (3 g) Vanilla Extract 1 tsp (5 mL) Espresso Powder ½ tsp (1 g) Cocoa Powder ⅓ cup (30 g) -Ganache Chocolate, 60% Cacao 4 oz (113 g) Heavy Cream ¼ cup (60 mL) Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) round pan with parchment. 2. Add the chocolate and butter to a microwave-safe bowl, and heat until the butter is melted, and the chocolate has softened. Stir until the chocolate and butter are well combined and the mixture is smooth. Set aside. 3. Whisk the eggs and sugar until pale. Stir in salt, vanilla extract, and espresso powder. Pour the chocolate mixture into the eggs and whisk until smooth. Add the cocoa powder and mix until incorporated. 4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely before glazing with ganache. 5. To make the ganache, heat chocolate and heavy cream until chocolate begins to melt. Stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature before using. 6. Pour the cooled ganache over the cooled cake and spread to cover cake.
