Decadent Flourless Chocolate Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Flourless Chocolate Cake.

1. Step 1

   Begin by gathering all your ingredients and preheating your oven to a cozy 300°F (150°C).

2. Step 2

   Prepare a 10-inch round cake pan by greasing it and setting it aside for later use.

3. Step 3

   In a small saucepan, mix together sugar, water, and salt over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.

4. Step 4

   Once dissolved, take it off the heat and let it cool slightly.

5. Step 5

   Next, melt bittersweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating it in 15-second bursts and stirring in between until it’s silky smooth, which should take about 1 to 3 minutes.

6. Step 6

   Transfer the melted chocolate into the bowl of an electric mixer.

7. Step 7

   Cut unsalted butter into small pieces and gradually beat it into the melted chocolate, ensuring each piece is fully incorporated before adding the next.

8. Step 8

   Slowly pour the warm sugar water into the chocolate mixture, mixing thoroughly.

9. Step 9

   Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the batter is luxuriously smooth.

10. Step 10

    Pour this rich batter into your prepared cake pan.

11. Step 11

    To create a gentle water bath, place the cake pan inside a larger pan and fill the outer pan with boiling water, ensuring it reaches halfway up the sides of the cake pan.

12. Step 12

    Bake this decadent creation in the water bath for 45 minutes; the center will appear slightly wet when it’s done.

13. Step 13

    Once baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool before refrigerating for at least 8 hours or overnight to achieve the perfect chill.

14. Step 14

    When you’re ready to serve, dip the bottom of the cake pan in hot water for about 10 seconds, then carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate.

15. Step 15

    Slice, serve, and savor every bite of this delightful treat!.
