How to Make Flourless Dark Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch springform pan.
  2. Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually whisk in the melted chocolate mixture, then stir in the espresso and brandy.
  5. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  7. 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.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before releasing the springform.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve.
