Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a springform pan with butter or nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Pour the warm, melted butter on top and wait for 2 minutes. Stir until all the chocolate is melted.
- Add the sugar and almond flour and stir to incorporate, the batter should be shiny. Stir in the egg yolks and set the bowl aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
- Fold ¼ of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate batter. Repeat the process, ¼ at a time, until all the of the egg whites are incorporated. The batter should be light and airy.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until done.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool down completely before removing the pan. Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
Notes
- Storage: Store flourless chocolate cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. If you decide to freeze the cake, don't cut it beforehand! The whole cake will freeze much better than slices of the cake.
- You can use chocolate chips in place of the chopped chocolate
- If your butter is not warm, you can also melt the chocolate and butter together using a double boiler.
- This cake is as good as the chocolate you use. Make sure you are using good quality chocolate. I used Callebaut chocolate.
- I love dusting my flourless chocolate cake with cocoa powder! However, it's also delicious when topped with powdered sugar, fresh berries, and even chocolate ganache.
