This chocolate cake is made only with butter, dark chocolate, eggs, and sugar. It's flourless and has a wonderfully soft texture with a rich chocolate flavor, making it perfect for those on a gluten-free diet or simply wanting to treat yourself and your loved ones to a new dessert. We recommend using a 22 cm springform pan for this cake. Dust the finished dessert with cocoa powder and slice it once it's completely cool.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


  • 165g unsalted butter or margarine, cut into small pieces, plus extra for greasing the pan
  • 340 g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 6 large eggs
  • 0.5 cups of sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Combine the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water (the bowl should not touch the water) and stir until melted and combined. Remove the bowl from the water bath and let cool slightly.
  2. Combine eggs, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until thick and pale, 5-8 minutes.

  3. Gently fold half of the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then gently fold in the rest. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the top is no longer shiny and barely jiggles, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs, 35-45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely in the pan. Remove the ring from the pan and transfer the cake to a serving platter; dust with cocoa powder.
