Flourless Decadent Chocolate Cake
Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 18 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 6 eggs
Instructions
1
Gather all the necessary ingredients for this recipe. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (that's 150 degrees Celsius). Next, take a 10-inch round cake pan and grease it thoroughly; set it aside for now.
2
Combine the sugar, water, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat on your stovetop. Stir the mixture until it's completely dissolved and set it aside for a moment.
3
Now, melt the bittersweet chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl using 15-second intervals. Stir the chocolate after each interval, and it should take about 1 to 3 minutes to complete. Once melted, pour the chocolate into a bowl of an electric mixer.
4
Cut your butter into small pieces and beat it, one piece at a time, into the chocolate until they're fully combined.
5
Next, add the hot sugar water to the mixture and beat it in slowly. Then, one at a time, add the eggs to the mixture until they're fully incorporated.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan that you set aside earlier.
7
Before baking, prepare a larger pan by placing it in the oven and filling it with boiling water halfway up the sides of the cake pan. This will help keep your cake moist and even.
8
Bake the cake in the water bath in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Even after baking, the center of the cake should still look slightly wet.
9
Once the cake is baked and cooled, place it in the refrigerator to chill thoroughly for 8 hours or overnight.
10
To unmold the cake, dip the bottom of the cake pan in hot water for just 10 seconds and then invert it onto a serving plate.

Finally, serve and enjoy your delicious cake!
