Flourless Chocolate Cake With Apple Cider Sabayon Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Dust the bottom and sides with the cocoa, shaking to remove excess.
• Combine the bittersweet chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until completely melted and smooth, about 1 minute. (Alternatively, melt in a small metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth). Let cool slightly. Whisk in the granulated sugar. Whisk in the eggs 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition. Sift the remaining 1 cup cocoa over the mixture and whisk until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until just barely set, around 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and remove sides. Remove to a serving platter and let cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve with cinnamon ice cream.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan, or press a large sheet of foil into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch round cake pan, smoothing the sides, and generously butter the foil.
• Bring a few inches of water in a large saucepan to a simmer over medium heat. Set a large heatproof bowl over the saucepan and add the chocolate. When the chips look soft and melty, stir gently until smooth. Turn off the heat, and add the butter to the bowl. Stir gently until melted and smooth. Add the cocoa powder and stir until smooth, then take the bowl off the saucepan.
• Stir in the granulated sugar until incorporated, then add the eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla, then scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
• Bake until crackly and dry on top, and a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with some crumbs attached.
• Cool in the pan on a rack, then remove the sides of the springform pan or lift the cake out of the cake pan using the foil overhang. You can slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Or, to cut very neat slices, freeze the cooled cake until firm. Slice and warm up in the microwave or oven, if preferred. Serve the cake with whipped cream or ice cream, if you'd like. The cake can be wrapped and kept at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and butter the inside of a spring-form pan. Melt the chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; stirring frequently until smooth. Stir in the sugar, cocoa powder and salt until all of the lumps are gone. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat the egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until they form stiff peaks, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir the egg yolks into the cooled chocolate mixture, then stir in about a quarter of the whipped egg whites. Scrape this lightened chocolate mixture into the remaining whipped egg whites and gently fold until mostly combined (it's ok if there are some streaks of egg white). Pour into the prepared pan and bake until the center of the cake no longer wiggles, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan, on a wire rack (the cake will deflate slightly). Unlock the pan and dust the top of the cake with some cocoa powder. Cut into slices and serve with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Oil and flour a 9-inch springform cake round.
• Cut a piece of wax paper or parchment to fit inside the bottom of the pan, place the paper in the bottom of the pan.
• In a double-boiler on gentle heat, melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth.
• Set aside to cool slightly.
• In a clean mixing bowl (make sure there is no oil residue on the bowl or mixer attachments) beat the egg whites until they become cloudy and frothy; about 30 seconds.
• Continue beating while adding the brown sugar and cream of tartar.
• Beat until stiff peaks form- be careful not to over beat--this is most important!
• If the eggs curdle, throw them away and start over with new egg whites, seriously.
• Whisk the egg yolks and vanilla into the melted chocolate mixture in a large mixing bowl.
• Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate (start by folding in about 1/3rd of the whites, then gently fold in the remaining whites), the mixture should end up fluffy and light.
• Pour into the prepared pan.
• Wrap the bottom of the pan with foil and place the pan in a deep cooking sheet with about 1/2 to 1 inch of water in it.
• Bake the cake for about 60-70 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test.
• Remove cake from oven and allow to cool for about an hour.
• Gently run a knife around the edge of the pan, and then carefully invert the cake onto a flat plate or other surface.
• Remove the paper from the bottom (now the top) of the cake.
• Invert again onto the final plate for displaying the cake.
• The cake can be eaten right away but it may fall slightly when it is cut- for best results, it should be refrigerated for at least 6 hours before serving.

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.
