How to make this Flourless Chocolate Cake:
There are only 3 simple steps to making this cake:
STEP 1 – PREPARE THE BAKING DISH AND THE OVEN
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a metal 8″ round cake pan; cut a piece of parchment to fit, grease it, and lay it in the bottom of the pan.
STEP 2 – MAKE THE CAKE BATTER
Put the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat until the butter is melted and the chips are soft. Stir until the chips melt, reheating briefly if necessary. You can also do this over a double boiler. Transfer the melted chocolate/butter to a mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar, salt, espresso powder, and vanilla. Add the eggs, beating briefly until smooth. Add the cocoa powder, and mix just to combine.
STEP 3 – BAKE THE CAKE
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake the cake for 25 minutes or until the cake has a thin crust on the top and the center. Let the cake cool on a wire cooling rack for 10 minutes, dust with cocoa powder, serve and enjoy!
