Instructions
How to Make Gooey Flourless Chocolate Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by greasing it lightly and lining the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.
- Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Whisk granulated sugar and eggs in a separate bowl until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, creating a luscious base for your cake.
- Combine the melted chocolate mixture with the egg-sugar blend, pouring it in slowly while stirring continuously to maintain a silky texture.
- Sift the cocoa powder into the bowl and add the vanilla extract. Fold the mixture gently, being careful not to overmix to keep that gooey consistency.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for approximately 25 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains soft and slightly jiggly.
- Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for a few minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. Finish by dusting with cocoa powder or powdered sugar for a beautiful presentation.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh berries for a delightful burst of flavor.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality dark chocolate and ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. Dust with cocoa powder or powdered sugar right before serving for an elegant look.
