I'm looking for a flourless chocolate cake recipe that uses cocoa power and not melting chocolate. I can't find one anywhere and I lost the one I had.

Thanks!

HI There...

I am a Pastry Chef and this is a great recipe. :)

French Chocolate Cake (Flourless)

Yield: 12 servings

(Substitute 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder plus 2 tablespoons water for every 1-ounce unsweetened bakers chocolate)

Ingredients:

7 oz (200 g) semisweet chocolate (45-50 % cocoa)

4/5 cup (200 g) butter

1 cup (220 g) sugar

4 eggs, separated

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350deg F (Gas mark 4 or 180 deg C).

2. Line a 9 in (23 cm) cake tin with greaseproof or other non-stick paper and grease the tin.

3. Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt it with butter over hot water.

4. Beat the egg yolks with half of the sugar.

5. Fold in the melted butter and chocolate mixture.

6. Beat egg whites until frothy by using an electric mixer; gradually add the remaining sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.

7. Fold in the beaten egg whites.

8. Bake at 350 degrees until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, approximately 40 minutes.

9. Use a knife to separate the cake from the non-stick paper. Please observe that the cake is quite sticky!

The Flourless Chocolate Cake may be served warm or cold with whipped cream. The cream may be dusted with cocoa powder before serving, and the cake may be dusted with powdered sugar.

I make this frequently and it is great. The recipe is for sugar free, but you can just replace the sugar sub with sugar.

This is the one that Sylvia posted at the beginning of the year. It doesn't have the baker's chocolate but it does have choc chips . . . and cocoa. Thought I would post it so that it was listed with the other options as it is an awesome (and super rich) cake.

I haven't tried this yet:

Chocolate Cake (Adventures in a glutenfree kitchen)

from Simply Tempting, second edition, p. 120 (instructions slightly modified)

I thought it was 3 tbsp of cocoa powder + 1 tbsp of fat (either butter or coconut oil, or cocoa butter) for the sub instead of baker's chocolate? I think the use of a fat instead of water would make for a more moist outcome. Just my opinion of course based on what I've learned, and because I'm not afraid of fat :D

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
