Flourless Chocolate Cake
- 16 ounces solid dark chocolate (use your favorite GF dark chocolate bars)
- 12 cup Truvia
- 34 cup very hot strong coffee
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons organic unsweetened cocoa powder
- 8 large organic free-range eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 10-cup Springform pan by lining the bottom with a circle of buttered parchment.
- Wrap the outside of the whole pan (underneath, to catch any leaks) with a big piece of foil.
- Break up the dark chocolate into pieces and pour the chocolate into the bowl of the food processor.
- Pulse until the chocolate breaks up into small bits.
- Add the sugar.
- Pulse until the chocolate and sugar turns into an even, sandy grain.
- Pour the hot water or coffee slowly into the feed tube as you pulse again.
- Pulse until the chocolate is melted.
- Magic!
- Add the butter pieces and the cocoa powder, and pulse to combine.
- Add the eggs and vanilla, and process till smooth.
- The batter will be liquid and creamy.
- *Note for cooks across the pond: One stick of butter here equals 8 tablespoons, or one half cup, 4 oz.
- Pour the batter into the lined Springform pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees F in the center of the oven, till puffed and cracked and lovely - about 55 to 65 minutes.
- (Note - it took an hour plus 15 minutes when I baked this at high altitude.)
- Use a wooden toothpick to check the center of the cake; pick should emerge clean, with maybe a crumb.
- Place the cake pan on a wire rack to cool.
- The cake will deflate.
- Don't worry!
- When cooled a bit, press down on it gently with a spatula to make it even, if you wish.
- Or not.
- When the cake is completely cooled, cover, and chill it for at least three hours (best up to eight hours), until serving.
- Overnight is even better.
- Serve thin slices with drizzled chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of sifted powdered sugar.
- Garnish with a fresh berries or mint leaves.
