Flourless Chocolate Cake

 

1 teaspoon unsalted butter

8 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided

4 eggs, separated

2 tablespoons confectioners sugar

1/2 cup whipping cream, whipped

 

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with

parchment paper, then grease with 1 teaspoon butter.

In a small saucepan, combine the chocolate and the remaining one-half cup butter

over low heat and melt, stirring often until smooth. Stir in the vanilla, remove

from the heat and cover to keep warm.

In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat one-half cup of the granulated

sugar with the egg yolks until pale in color. In a large bowl, using clean

beaters, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Slowly add the remaining

one-fourth cup granulated sugar to the egg whites, beat until stiff peaks form,

about 30 seconds.

Using a plastic spatula, gently stir the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites

just until combined. Then gently stir in the melted chocolate until the mixture

is a uniform chocolate color.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake until a fork or toothpick

inserted in the center comes out dry, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the

pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate and let cool

completely. Remove the parchment paper. Using a fine-mesh sieve, dust the top of

the cake with the confectioners' sugar. Top each serving with a dollop of

whipped cream.

Serves 6 to 8.
