Flourless Chocolate Cake // Last weekend I was put to the test. I needed to create a cake for a last minute get together and didn’t realize until I was in the middle of my baking endeavor that we were OUT of FLOUR!! Who lets themselves run out of flour?? I was a little nervous but remembered that I once tried a flourless cake that was amazing. I decided to test out a version using things I had on hand and boy was it delicious!
Flourless Chocolate Cake Recipe
3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup dutch cocoa
3 eggs
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375˚. Place six ramekins onto a baking tray and lightly mist with cooking spray.
Combine the chocolate chips and butter in a small saucepan. Cook until just melted and remove from the heat.
In a small bowl whisk together the sugar, cocoa, and eggs. You should have a paste like chocolate mass. Fold in the melted chocolate. Divide the batter between your bowls and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Now, you could frost this cake if you felt the need. Since the cake has plenty of chocolate goodness packed inside, I decided to top it with a simple dust of powdered sugar and a few fresh raspberries. Light, riche, and decadent. Those are the top three words I would use to describe this cake.
It is the perfect Valentines Treat. It quickly comes together, tastes amazing, and is sure to impress the ones you love. Why spend tons of time in the kitchen when you can have a simple and impressive dessert ready in minutes?

I can't wait to try this recipe! YUMMY!
This looks wonderful! I was wondering how many chocolate chips you need?
3/4 cup of chocolate chips. It looks like I forgot to add that detail!
hi, have you ever tried baking this in one pan? If so, what size an how long did you bake it?
You can bake it in a 9 inch round pan. I used a spring form so it was easy to get out. Just bake until a toothpick comes out clean. (20 ish minutes)
This looks so good! xo
Wow! That looks amazing! It would be perfect to make for Valentine's Day!

Dying to try this recipe! What was the quantity of the chocolate chips used?
3/4 of a cup. Looks like I forgot to type that in!
Is this something that can be made ahead of time? Morning of or day before? Or does it need to be made and served? Also, how easy do they come out of the ramekins? Thanks!
You can make them the day before and they should come out of the pans fairly easy.
Ooooh this cake looks so good and so chocolatey! Perfect for Valentines Day dinner!! Pinning!
Made this for guests the other day and it was SO good! I used a cupcake pan and 5/6 came out perfectly. One got a little crumbly so I got to taste test before serving=)
SO glad you liked my recipe!
Oh my goodness!!!!! This cake is simply divine!! I baked it in a lightly sprayed 9″ springform pan, dusted with confectioner’s sugar and drizzled with chocolate. We ate it with vanilla ice cream, strawberries and whipped cream, YUMMMMMMMY 🙂 Why put flour in a cake when you can make one like this without?!!!! Highly recommend this recipe!!!!!
