How to Make Flourless Chocolate Cake With Caramel Sauce
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch springform pan.
- Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), melt 6 ounces (170g) of bittersweet chocolate and 6 tablespoons (85g) of unsalted butter, stirring until smooth.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Add 6 large eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
- Gradually whisk in the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before releasing the sides of the pan.
- For the salted caramel sauce:
- Combine 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (60ml) water, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook, without stirring, until the sugar dissolves and turns a deep amber color (about 7-10 minutes). Be careful not to burn it!
- Carefully whisk in 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream (it will bubble up!).
- Return to low heat and stir until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Whisk in 4 tablespoons (55g) unsalted butter and a pinch of sea salt until fully incorporated.
- Once the cake is completely cool, cut it into wedges.
- Optional: Briefly rewarm the cake wedges at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes for a warmer serving temperature.
- Rewarm the caramel sauce gently over low heat, stirring often.
- Place a warm cake wedge on a plate, drizzle generously with warm caramel sauce, and serve with vanilla ice cream (optional).
