Recipe For Flourless Chocolate Cake?

Does anyone have a recipe for a sinfully delicious flourless chocolate cake, or molten cake, that uses baking chocolate??

I also have cocoa powder in the pantry if that will work, but no chocolate chips.

JulieM,

Does it have to be a flourless cake? We have a very good chocolate cake recipe that everyone in the family likes. Our son-in-law who is not celiac, says it's the best chocolate cake ever.

Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

2 c. gluten-free flour mix *

2 c. sugar

1 c. cocoa

1 tsp. xanthan gum

2 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

Mix above ingredients and set aside.

1/4 lb. butter/margarine (1 stick)

2 c. boiling water

2 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla

In large mixing bowl melt butter in boiling water. Add eggs and vanilla and blend well. Stir in flour mixture. Beat until well blended. Grease 9 x 13 cake pan. Scrape batter into pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Cake is done when toothpick inserted in center comes out almost clean. Cool and frost with favorite frosting.

* I use Bette Hagman's mix: 2 parts white rice flour

2/3 parts tapioca starch

1/3 potato starch (all flours from Oriental/Asian market)

Recipe makes 24 cupcakes or two 8" or 9" round cake pans.

Macrina Bakery Flourless Chocolate Torte

Thick with chocolate and decadent to the tongue, this torte is simply heaven. One bite brings sighs. Two bites makes you moan. And after three bites, you can't imagine ever eating anything again.

If you eat it the same day as you make it -- which we did -- it will be light and fairly cakey. If you put it in the refrigerator and eat it the next day -- which I did with the leftovers -- it's far more fudge-like and dense. No problem. Either way, it's fairly amazing.

ten ounces bittersweet chocolate (try Dagoba, which is gluten-free)

nine eggs

twelve tablespoons unsalted butter

three-quarter cup granulated sugar

one-quarter cup dark cocoa powder, sifted

two cups fresh raspberries

powdered sugar

Preheat the oven to 350

Here's another one by Gluten-Free Girl:

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE TORTE, from The Best Recipe, p. 461

8 large eggs, cold

1 pound bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

1/2 pound of butter (two sticks), cut into 1/2-inch chunks

Julie,

This is from "Cooking Free" by Carol Fenster--I've not tried the recipe.

Flourless Chocolate Cake

2 cups walnut halves

1 cup packed light brown sugar or maple sugar

1/2 cup light olive oil

1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon salt

5 large eggs, separated

Frosting, melted sugar, or powdered sugar, to top

Preheat oven to 350. Grease 8 or 9 inch nonstick springform pan.

Grind nuts in food processor to cornmeal-like texture. Add sugar, oil, cocoa, vanilla, salt and egg yolks and blend until thoroughly mixed.

in separate large mixer bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites with electric mixer until soft peaks form.

Gently fold cocoa mixture into beaten egg whites, adding 1/4 of the mixture at a time.

Pour batter into prepred pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cake rises as it bakes, and falls slightly as it cools.

Cool for 15 minutes in pan on wire rack. Cut around pan to loosen cake from pan edge. Release pan sides. Slice into 8 pieces.

Top as desired.

Now I want to make one too. How can I do this without butter?

I think we both might be SOL Mango :lol:

My baking chocolate is unsweetened :o . It doesn't look like I can do any of these recipes :(

I'm so sad, they look so YUMMY

I don't think margarine or ghee would yield the same results (since they have different baking properties), it might not look pretty but it still could be edible? I guess you could give it a go and see what happens with one or the other substitution.

This looks interesting. I do have cocoa powder, not sure I have that many walnuts.

Thanks Patti :)

Flourless Chocolate Cake

Jestgar Rising Star

Chocolate cake

Ingredients

------------

  • 1T ground almonds, plus extra to dust the pan
  • 10-1/2 oz dark chocolate
  • 1-1/2c sugar
  • 1-1/4 sticks unsalted butter
  • pinch of salt
  • 5 large eggs
  • confectioner's sugar (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spray an 8" or 9" springform pan with cooking spray, then dust it with ground almonds, shaking off any excess. Set aside.

In a double boiler set at a low simmer, melt the chocolate, butter, and sugar, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat.

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and ground almonds. Fold the egg mixture into the chocolate and stir until thickened, several minutes. Pour the cake into the pan, smooth the top and bake 45 minutes, or until the top is set and begins to crack.

Remove the side of the pan and let the cake cool completely. Dust with confectioner's sugar if desired. Makes 10 servings.

Try this addition.

Ingredients

  • 2 pagkages of 12 oz frozen raspberries
  • 2/3 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup water

Bring ingredients to a slow boil, stirring frequently. Puree and then strain out the seeds. Serving this hot over or next to the cake is unreal!

That would be all the options in my recipe file

Can you use unsweetened in place of bittersweet? :unsure:

Jestgar Rising Star

If you like dark chocolate in general, you should be able to up the sugar/sweetener content a bit to compensate. Won't work if you only like the sweet chocolate.

1 ounce semi-sweet chocolate = 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate + 1 tablespoon sugar

Thanks for the conversion, that's what I wasn't sure about if they could be substituted out.

Julie! You said "SOL" :lol:

Looks like you got lots of good chocolate ideas :)

I would go Open Original Shared Link, I think of Cook's Illustrated as being the authority on most cooking. I watched tv when I happened upon them making this. Looks so good.

Thanks bakingbarb, I followed the link and it just directed me to the home page :huh:

I love Amerca's Test Kitchen, I used to watch it on the weekends but I haven't for a while, I forget it's on. Thanks for the reminder :)

Wow--it looks great, Julie!

Thanks Patti, shall I cut you a slice?? :lol:

It looks awesome Julie. Did you use ghee, or regular butter (or something else)?

      @Zuma888, The antibodies produced in response to gluten are made in the intestines.  When the body is provoked sufficiently, the antibodies overflow out of the intestines and into the blood stream.  Once in the blood stream, the antibodies can be measured with tTg IgA tests.  Three grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum is enough gluten to make you feel the symptoms of having been glutened, but the antibodies are not in sufficient quantity to be measured in the blood. Ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks is required to get the anti gluten antibodies at a high enough level in the blood stream to be measured by tTg IgA tests. So, no, occasional cross contamination or (heaven forbid) intentional cheat days will not be sufficient for tTg IgA testing.  You will still be making antibodies which will still be causing inflammation and damage to the intestines and body.  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten.  High histamine levels lead to food sensitivities, brain fog, and body aches.   The damage done to the gastrointestinal tract affects the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  Malabsorption of fats can cause changes in stools.  Insufficient absorption of vitamins and minerals can cause damage to other organs like the thyroid if it can't get enough Selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, and Thiamine.  Brain fog and fatigue can be caused by low Thiamine and other B Complex vitamins.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system.  One gene is all that's needed to develop Celiac disease.  I know a Celiac diagnosis is a change that can be difficult to get your head around.  Many people go through the five stages of grief.  One stage is "bargaining".  Sounds like you're stuck there.  Every little cheat counts to your detriment.  But sticking to a gluten free diet, makes every meal a success.   Read the comments below the article... Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full blown symptoms and flattened villi.  Only a full gluten challenge would reveal where you are at this point. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:    
    • Scott Adams
      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Great  post. The skin issue can be intolerable. I have been taking niacinamide for the past month and have improved with respect to the blistering lesions. 
    • knitty kitty
      I've found taking Niacin Vitamin B 3 in the form that causes flushing (nicotinic acid) helps immensely to clear my skin.  The flushing is harmless and goes away the longer Niacin is taken.  The flushing (vasodilation in the skin) helps the body get rid of the tTg 3 IgA antibodies that cause the blisters.  TTg 2 IgA antibodies are found in the blood and are measured in diagnostic testing for Celiac.  People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis make tTg 3 as well as tTg 2 antibodies.  Niacin Vitamin B3 in the non flushing form niacinamide also works without the flushing, but takes a bit longer.   I also avoid foods containing high levels of iodine because iodine activates the tTg 3 IgA antibodies to become more active and make more blisters.  I avoid kelp (nori, seaweed) and crustaceans,  eggs, dairy products, and iodized table salt.   Niacinamide and Nicotinic acid are water soluble and harmless.  I'd much rather take Niacin than Dapsone with scary side effects.
