Flourless Chocolate Cake

This particular recipe is especially for those who simply cannot resist a chocolate cake craving. This flourless chocolate cake will make you feel less guilty about being indulgent and satisfy that sweet tooth.

Ingredients

  • 200 Gram Dark Chocolate (85% or higher)
  • 100 Gram Butter (cubed)
  • 100 ML Cream
  • 4 Eggs (separated)
  • 4 Tablespoons truvia (sugar substitute)

Preparation

Prep: 20 minutes
Cooking: 45 minutes

  1. Butter an 8-inch cake tin.
  2. Break the chocolate into even pieces. Add the butter and microwave in short bursts till the chocolate is melted. You can do this over a double boiler too.
  3. Add the cream and the truvia. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, mixing until just combined.
  5. Whisk the egg whites separately with a pinch of salt just until stiff peaks form (careful, do not overbeat).
  6. Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in thirds gently until no white streaks remain.
  7. Bake at 160c (325 f) for about 45 minutes or until the rest of the cake is set but the centre just jiggles.
  8. Bring to room temperature then chill for at least 4 hours before serving. This also freezes really well.
  9. Do not worry if the chocolate mix looks like it’s splitting when you add the cream, just continue to whisk it for a few more minutes and it will emulsify into this shiny, rich ganache.

I am an actor and a model who had less inclination towards stepping into the kitchen but the lockdown has allowed me to explore a new side to me. I started baking. To satisfy my cravings, I mostly baked cakes and found the entire process a lot of fun but soon enough realised that I can’t keep feeding my family and myself unhealthy cakes. So, I began baking healthier cakes. I mostly turn to recipes on YouTube or follow famous Indian chefs on Instagram to learn a thing or two.
