Perfect your baking skills with this decadent flourless chocolate cake recipe.
Ingredients:
1 tsp Instant Coffee Powder
62.50 gm boiling water
200g butter, chopped
180g Baking Dark Chocolate, chopped
20.00 gm cocoa powder, sifted
4eggs, separated
215.00 gm caster sugar
200.00 gm almond meal (ground almonds)
Cocoa powder, for dusting
Double cream, to serve
Strawberries, to serve
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and generously grease a 6cm-deep, 22cm round spring-form cake pan. Line both the base and sides with baking paper for easy removal later.
In a heatproof jug, combine coffee powder and boiling water, stirring until dissolved. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter, chocolate, cocoa powder, and coffee mixture together, stirring constantly for 2 to 3 minutes until well combined. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar with an electric mixer for 5 minutes until thick. Set aside. In another bowl, whip egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Combine the chocolate mixture and almond meal with the egg yolk mixture. Gently fold in half of the egg whites using a large metal spoon, then repeat with the remaining egg whites. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs clinging. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. Dust with cocoa powder and serve with cream and strawberries.
