Some day, somehow you should make this Flourless Chocolate Cake!
This is my idea of chocolate perfection. It’s a dense chocolate cake that borders the whole gooey brownie thing, sans the flour. Unlike a brownie, there is a richer taste to it. When you bite into it this flourless Chocolate Cake, it’s a smooth and velvety chocolate Rumba dancing on those taste buds.
This cake is for those passionate about chocolate. It’s a serious level of chocolate love here and I’m happy to say, and I have succumb to it’s calling.
A fervent yum to it all!
If you are planning on eating anything chocolate … ever … then give this recipe a go. You can spice it up by adding a bit of cinnamon or cardamon, grated lemon or orange zest, almond or orange extract … cayene pepper! I like mine topped off with a dusting of cocoa powder, but feel free to garnish it with powdered sugar, fruits, whipped creams, jams or even chocolate ganache. This flourless Chocolate Cake is the perfect base for so many creative desserts, that you could change it up seasonally.
Swoon!
