GUIDE / INSTRUCTIONS

For the Flourless Chocolate Cake
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • Grease an 8-inch springform pan with a small amount of butter.
  • Melt chocolate in a microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate is fully melted and smooth; set aside.
  • Combine cocoa, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, beat together butter and sugar; add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and continue beating until mixture is pale and creamy, about 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
  • Add chocolate; beat until just blended. Fold in ground walnuts, chopped walnuts and cocoa mixture.
  • Pour into prepared pan and bake until cooked through, about 35 minutes.
  • Let cool completely on a wire rack. Run a small knife around edges of springform pan before releasing cake.
  • Serve at room temperature, topping with one or more garnishes to taste.
