Flourless Chocolate Cake


A nice, easy cake that does not require much energy to prepare (which is good, because I don't have any left). Not overly sweet, but quite chocolate, it is a cake that can be ready in under an hour.

You Will Need:

4 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and extra for topping

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Grease an 8 inch round pan and line the bottom with parchment. Grease the parchment as well.

In a heavy bottomed pan (or if you're not skilled with melting chocolate, a double boiler) melt the bittersweet chocolate with the butter stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Whisk in sugar. Add eggs and whisk well. Sift in the cocoa powder and whisk until just mixed. Pour into pan and bake 25 minutes on the middle rack or until a crust forms on top. Cool in pan fifteen minutes, then unmould on plate. Dust with extra cocoa.
