History[edit | edit source]
The exact origins of the Flourless Chocolate Cake are unclear, but it is believed to have been created in the early 20th century. It gained popularity in the United States during the 1990s as part of the trend towards gluten-free and low-carbohydrate diets.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The preparation of a Flourless Chocolate Cake involves melting the chocolate and butter together, then mixing in the sugar, eggs, and any additional flavorings such as vanilla extract or liqueur. The mixture is then baked in a springform pan until set. The result is a dense, fudgy cake that is rich in chocolate flavor.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are many variations of the Flourless Chocolate Cake. Some recipes include ground nuts, coffee, or other flavorings. There are also vegan versions that use ingredients like avocado or black beans in place of eggs and butter.
Serving[edit | edit source]
Flourless Chocolate Cake is often served with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of ice cream. It can also be drizzled with a chocolate ganache or a fruit coulis.
