Description

This flourless chocolate cake is everything I want in a dessert when chocolate is the main event. It’s rich without being overwhelming, simple without feeling plain, and elegant without being fussy. The texture sits somewhere between a brownie and a truffle, with a soft, fudgy center and a delicate crust on top. I love how it feels equally at home on a weeknight table or at a special gathering. With just a handful of ingredients and a calm, thoughtful process, this cake proves that you don’t need complexity to create something truly memorable. It’s a recipe I return to again and again, and one that never fails to impress.
