How to make flourless chocolate cake?

Making a flourless chocolate cake is easier than you might think! Here’s how to make a flourless chocolate cake that will impress everyone:

To make this cake, melt chocolate and butter in warm cream. Then add the flavor, rum or pure vanilla extract.

While the chocolate sauce is cooling, whisk the eggs with sugar and salt. Then slowly mix in the cooled chocolate sauce.

Pour the mixture into a springform cake pan and place the pan on a baking sheet to bake.

Once the flourless cake is baked, it needs to chill. For best results, I recommend chilling it overnight. However, if you are short on time or can’t wait to dig into this chocolate ganache cake, chill it for about six hours, the texture will be softer.

For the finish, just before serving, I like to add a dusting of pure cocoa powder. Or, add your favourite toppings.
