Easy Flourless Chocolate Cake

What dessert do you make when you need an intense, amazing, and rich dessert, but don’t want to spend hours fussing in the kitchen? When you want a showstopper of dessert?

Easy flourless chocolate cake is exactly what you make. Just four ingredients, and one of them is a whole POUND of chocolate, so get the best tasting chocolate you can! Soon you will be on your way to decadent chocolate nirvana.

This flourless chocolate cake is a recipe I’ve been making for many years.

I remember seeing the recipe in an issue of Cook’s Illustrated and I loved the simplicity of it – basically just chocolate, butter, and eggs. Plus coffee, though I’ve changed that to Kahlua. 🙂

Because why not?

Like my Chocolate Lava Cakes, I like to keep it simple with this cake. Because a chocolate cake this rich and this dense and this melt in your mouth good doesn’t need anything fancy.

Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 16 oz bittersweet chocolate chopped
• 8 oz (2 sticks) unsalted butter cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 2 tbsp coffee liqueur such as Kahlua

Instructions

1. Move the oven rack to the lower middle position. Preheat the oven 325F.
2. Grease the sides of a 9-inch springform pan with butter and then cut a parchment round to line the bottom of the pan. Wrap heavy duty aluminum foil around the outside of the pan to guard against leaks. Place the springform pan in a large straight sided skillet or roasting pan and begin heating water for the water bath. You will need enough water to reach about half-way up the side of the springform pan.
