I’ve been dying to make this recipe for AGES. This is a really good recipe, and may I just say of course it is because its a Martha recipe… and when is she ever wrong? Never. That and its gluten-free (because theres no flour in it- nudge, nudge Jamie!). Its a very light (very VERY LIGHT), elegant, gourmet recipe but its also a good recipe to make if you’re low on flour and sugar and still need (or want) to bake. It makes a dense chocolate cake that almost melts in your mouth, but yet is incredibly airy. Its not a French recipe (although I do have one of those, but it requires Grand Marnier and I don’t have any) but it tastes very French. Oui, oui!
This may be my first, but it is certainly not my last “le gâteau au chocolat sans la farine…”
- It’s a very delicate, ladylike cake
…
There are infinite ways to make it interesting; you could “stencil” a shape on the top (place a cutout of a shape on the middle of the cake, sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar and then remove the shape… voila!), coat it in melted chocolate and raspberries, make a pool of chocolate/caramel/white chocolate/raspberry sauce for it to sit in, etc, etc.
FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE
Ingrédients:
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or 8 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate)
- 6 large egg whites
- 6 large egg yolks
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter + 1 tablespoon for coating the pan
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F, with rack in the center.
- Butter a 9-inch springform pan. Place butter and chocolate in a large bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until melted. Cool slightly. Whisk in egg yolks.
- In another bowl, beat egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually add in granulated sugar; beat until stiff and glossy.
- Whisk ¼ of egg whites into chocolate mixture. Gently fold that into remaining egg whites.
- Pour into prepared pan; smooth top. Bake until cake pulls away from sides of pan and is just set in the center, roughly 45-50 minutes.
- Cool completely on wire rack.
- Serve dusted with confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder, a dollop of fresh whipped cream, or whatever you wish.
Yum. La bonne vie!!

I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a
good platform.
I’ve been browsing online greater than 3 hours nowadays, but I by no means discovered
any attention-grabbing article like yours. It’s
beautiful price enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content
material as you did, the web shall be much more useful than ever
before.
Very good article. I certainly love this website.

I’ve been exploring for a bit for any high quality articles
or blog posts on this sort of space . Exploring in Yahoo I eventually stumbled upon this site.
Studying this info So i’m glad to exhibit that I’ve
an incredibly just right uncanny feeling I discovered just what I needed.
I so much indisputably will make certain to don’t put
out of your mind this web site and give it a look on a relentless basis.
As I website owner I think the articles here is real excellent,

Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering
if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment
form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having difficulty finding one?
Thanks a lot!
I am curious to find out what blog system you’re utilizing?
I’m having some small security issues with my latest blog and
I would like to find something more safe. Do you have any
recommendations?
Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening
in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, great blog!
As I website possessor I think the written content
here is rattling superb, thank you for your
efforts.
As soon as I observed this web site I went on reddit to share some of the love with them.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you
relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking
about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you
could be giving us something enlightening to read?
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
