Ingredients

• 8 ounces Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
• 8 ounces Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 5 whole Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Espresso powder (optional, enhances chocolate flavor)
• 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (unsweetened, for dusting)
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler), melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together. Stir occasionally until smooth and completely combined, then remove from heat.

Step 3

Whisk in the granulated sugar until fully dissolved into the chocolate-butter mixture.

Step 4

Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time. Ensure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract, espresso powder (if using), and a pinch of salt to bring out the flavors.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a thin crust has formed on top. The center should still be slightly soft.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen it, invert the cake onto a plate, and peel off the parchment paper.

Step 9

Dust the top with cocoa powder just before serving for an elegant finish.

Step 10

Slice and serve with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate ganache for that extra kick. Enjoy your Kickin Flourless Chocolate Cake!
