Let&#8217;s quickly go over the ingredients you&#8217;ll need to make this recipe:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chocolate:&nbsp;<\/strong>I prefer to use high-quality chocolate bars for this cake rather than chocolate chips. I really love Bakers or Ghirardelli chocolate bars.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:&nbsp;<\/strong>For the best flavor, I highly recommend using a European-style butter like Danish Creamery. If you need to make this recipe dairy-free, you could even use a dairy-free butter instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Granulated sugar:&nbsp;<\/strong>Since you&#8217;ll be using semi-sweet chocolate and unsweetened cocoa powder, a little sugar is needed to balance out the flavor of the batter.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:&nbsp;<\/strong>Pure vanilla will deliver the richest flavor.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:&nbsp;<\/strong>Since this is a flourless dessert, you&#8217;ll need four eggs to help bind everything together and provide some structure to the baked cake. It&#8217;s also best to lightly beat your eggs, so they whisk together easily with the other wet ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cocoa powder:&nbsp;<\/strong>I used Dutch process cocoa powder, but since this recipe only uses baking powder it will be fine to use natural unsweetened cocoa powder. I have a post that explains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/natural-vs-dutch-process-cocoa-powder\/\">the difference between both cocoa powders here<\/a>. I recommend sifting the cocoa powder to avoid any lumps as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Espresso powder:&nbsp;<\/strong>Optional but highly recommended. Espresso powder doesn&#8217;t make the cake taste like coffee, it just enhances the chocolate flavor.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking powder:&nbsp;<\/strong>This isn&#8217;t a light and fluffy cake by any means, but you still need a little baking powder to prevent it from being too dense.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:&nbsp;<\/strong>Balances out the sweetness from the sugar and also enhances the chocolate flavor.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"500\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 373px;\" data-original-width=\"500\" data-original-height=\"373\" > <div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 373px;\" data-original-width=\"250\" data-original-height=\"373\" > <div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-small\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"> <meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"246\"> <meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"369\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" data-attachment-id=\"24852\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1100,1650\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Flourless Chocolate Cake &#8211; 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake-2.jpg?fit=200%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake-2.jpg?fit=680%2C1020&#038;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake-2.jpg?w=246&#038;h=369&#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake-2.jpg?w=1100&amp;ssl=1 1100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake-2.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake-2.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake-2.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake-2.jpg?resize=400%2C600&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake-2.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w\" width=\"246\" height=\"369\" loading=\"lazy\" data-original-width=\"246\" data-original-height=\"369\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"Flourless Chocolate Cake - 2\" alt=\"A glass mixing bowl full of melted chocolate.

However, it will last up to three days in an airtight container at room temperature.<\/p>\n<p>You can also freeze the cake for up to three months and thaw it to room temperature before serving. Just be very careful when packaging it as this cake is very fragile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Is This Cake Gluten-Free?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>Although this cake is made without flour, it&#8217;s not necessarily gluten-free. To make a gluten-free chocolate cake, use certified gluten-free chocolate bars. If you&#8217;re sifting some powdered sugar on the top, you will also want to check that as well. As always, read ingredient labels closely and use your best judgement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-24866 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A slice of flourless cake dusted with powdered sugar on a white plate with a scoop of ice cream. \" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake.jpg?resize=400%2C600&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"baking-tips\">\n<h2>Baking Tips&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>If you don&#8217;t have a microwave, you can also melt the butter and chocolate using a double boiler.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Make sure to remove the cake from the pan soon after it&#8217;s out of the oven.
