Flourless Chocolate Cake By King Arthur Flour With Chocolate Gl Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 2-inch spring form pan with nonstick spray.
• Put the chocolate, butter, and salt in a large microwave safe bowl. Melt in the microwave on 75 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir and microwave again until completely melted, about 2 minutes more. Alternatively, put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan without touching the water. Stir occasionally until melted.
• Beat the eggs and sugar with a standing or handheld mixer until light and thickened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped eggs until evenly combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out wet but not gooey, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. Remove cake from the oven and cool on a rack.
• When ready to serve remove ring from spring form mold. Dust cake with confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
• Beat the cream and vanilla in a chilled non-reactive bowl with a whisk or an electric mixer just until they hold a loose peak. (Lift the beater from the cream and look at the shape of the peak at the end of the whisk; it should hold a lazy curve.) Sift the sugar over the cream and continue to beat just until it holds a soft peak. Take care not to over beat the cream or it will be look curdy. Serve, or refrigerate covered for up to 4 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees with the rack in the center. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
• Place butter and chocolate in a large heatproof bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until completely melted. Let cool slightly. Whisk in egg yolks.
• In a large bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar, and continue beating until glossy stiff peaks form. Whisk 1/4 of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture; then gently fold in remaining egg whites.
• Pour batter into the prepared pan, and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Bake until the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan and is set in the center, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack; remove sides of pan. Serve at room temperature, dusted with confectioners' sugar. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Lightly grease an 8" round cake pan; cut a piece of parchment or waxed paper to fit, grease it, and lay it in the bottom of pan (I sprayed the whole pan with flour Pam).
• To make cake; heat the chocolate and butter in microwave, stirring until mixture is melted and smooth.
• Add the sugar, salt and espresso powder.
• Add eggs, beating briefly until smooth.
• Add cocoa powder and mix just to combine.
• Spoon batter into prepared pan.
• Bake cake for 25 minutes; the top will have formed a thn crust.
• Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
• Loosen the edges of the cake from the pan, and turn it out onto a serving plate.
• Allow cake to cool completely before glazing.
• GLAZE.
• Heat chocolate and cream in microwave, stirring until chocolate melst and mixture is completely smooth.
• Spoon glaze over the cake, spreading it to drip over the sides a bit.
• Garnish with toasted almonds if desired.
• Allow glaze to set for several hours before serving cake.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Butter a 23cm springform cake tin and line the base with baking parchment.
• Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl in the microwave or over a pan of gently simmering water. Mix the coffee powder with 2 tbsp hot water until dissolved. Stir the coffee into the chocolate and set aside to cool slightly.
• Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl for 2 mins with an electric whisk until soft peaks form. In another large bowl, whisk both the sugars, the vanilla and egg yolks for 5-8 mins, or until pale and fluffy. Sift the cocoa powder into the egg yolk mixture and mix gently to combine.
• Stir the cooled chocolate into the egg yolk mixture, then gently fold through the egg whites until smooth. Transfer to the tin and bake for 1hr-1hr 20 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool, remove from the tin and serve with fresh berries, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter a 10-inch springform pan, line bottom with a round of parchment or wax paper, and butter paper.
• melt chocolate with butter in a medium metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth.
• Remove bowl from heat and whisk in sugar.
• Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
• Sift cocoa powder over chocolate and whisk until just combined.
• Pour batter into pan.
• Bake until top has formed a thin crust and a wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes out with moist crumbs adhering, 35-40 minutes.
• cool cake in pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then remove side of pan.
• invert cake onto a plate and reinvert onto rack to cool completely.
• dust cake with cocoa powder before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
• Stir together all of the ingredients till smooth.
• Scrape bottom and sided of bowl, stir gain till smooth.
• Drop soft, batter-like dough onto the prepared baking sheets in 1 1/2 inch circles; a tablespoon cookie scoop works well here.
• Bake cookies for 8 minutes; they should spred, become somewhat shiny, nd develop fintly crackly tops.
• Remoe cookies from oen and allow to cool riht on the pin.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Melt chocolate and cool.
• Melt butter.
• In a bowl, combine melted chocolate and butter.
• Beat in the sugar and egg yolks.
• Whisk in the vanilla, and cocoa powder and salt.
• Beat egg whites until a soft to heavy peaks.
• Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites a little at a time.
• Pour into a greased buttered 10 inch spring form pan.
• Bake for 25 minutes.
• Remove from oven.
• Remove rim and press down while warm for a denser cake (I did not do this).
• Serve warm or cold with some Devon pouring cream, or stencil a design with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Combine chocolates and butter in top of a double boiler. Melt over hot (but not boiling) water, stirring often. Remove top from heat and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, in a small pan, combine the 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil 4 minutes without stirring. Set aside to cool to room temperature, about 1 1/2 hours (sugar may crystallize on surface--don't worry if it does).
• Preheat oven to 350* F. Butter and flour a 9x2 inch round cake pan. Line bottom with parchment paper; butter and flour paper. Start heating some water, such as in a kettle, so it is quite hot but not boiling.
• When chocolate and syrup have cooled, beat eggs and the 1/3 cup sugar in large mixing bowl at high speed for 10 minutes or until tripled in volume and eggs form ribbons when beaters are lifted.
• Slowly pour in syrup, beating constantly at high speed and taking care not to pour over beaters (which will fling syrup around in a sticky mess).
• Fold in chocolate mixture until blended. Pour cake batter into prepared pan.
• Place pan in a shallow baking pan, large enough for the cake pan to sit level on bottom and about 1 1/2 or 2 inches deep. Pour hot water around the cake pan to 1 inch depth, taking care not to splash water into the cake.
• Place the bain marie with the cake into the oven and bake at 350 for 1 hour 15 minutes. The toothpick test will not work; the cake should be moist with a slight crust on top.
• Remove the cake from the bain marie. Cool in the pan to room temperature (about 3 hours). During cooling, the cake will settle and crack.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 8 hours.
• To serve, run a warm knife around inside of pan several times to loosen cake. Gently heat bottom by placing in hot water for 1-2 minutes. Dry off to keep from dripping onto cake. Place a baking sheet over top of pan, invert, and rap sharply on counter to remove cake from pan. The cake can be quite difficult to remove, so you may need to repeat these steps a few times before you are successful.
• Peel off paper and invert onto a serving platter, so top side is once again up. Cover and refrigerate; remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving and let sit at room temperature.
• Garnish with a dusting of sifted confectioner's sugar before slicing. The cake is very rich, so cut into sliver portions to serve.
