How to Make Flourless Dark Chocolate Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch springform pan.
- Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.
- Gradually whisk in the melted chocolate mixture, then stir in the espresso and brandy.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before releasing the springform.
- Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve.
