A Soft Chocolate Delight, Flourless

An excellent chocolate cake without the use of flour? It can be done... and it's quick! This is a low dessert, very special because it is pleasantly soft and slightly moist to delight the palate at the end of a meal. Preparing it is simple because it requires only a few ingredients and involves an easy (very easy) process.

A simple and quick recipe, with a particularly intense flavour

The taste, being an explosion of chocolate, is undoubtedly intense: for this reason, it is perfect to be served with a scoop of ice cream (preferably cream, fiordilatte or whipped cream), or with a sweet mascarpone cream or with some sweet strawberries! The effect is stunning. Ingredients:

200 g of dark chocolate,
100 g of sugar
100 g of butter
3 eggs
50 g of unsweetened cocoa powder

Preparation: Melt the dark chocolate and butter in a bain-marie and wait for the mixture to cool slightly. Meanwhile, using an electric mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar until you obtain a creamy and especially homogeneous mixture. Combine the two mixtures and add the unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix well and pour into a cake tin. At this point, the cake can go in the oven at about 180° Celsius for about half an hour. The important thing is that the crust is crunchy but the inside is soft.

Choose the dark chocolate carefully because it will be the base of your dessert

There are many variations of this cake, some include the addition of chopped almonds or other ingredients to enrich it further. The base ingredient is dark chocolate, which will give the dessert the right balance: therefore, pay attention to the choice of product and the percentage of cocoa contained.
