How to Make Flourless Hazelnut Chocolate Cake Gluten Free

  1. Melt 6 ounces (170g) of dark chocolate and 4 tablespoons (57g) of unsalted butter in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  2. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 7-inch springform pan.
  4. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Set aside.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks with 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar until pale and thick.
  7. Gently fold in the cooled chocolate mixture until just combined.
  8. Stir in 1 cup (120g) hazelnut meal, 2 tablespoons (10g) unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 tablespoon of your favorite liqueur (optional). Mix until just combined.
  9. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  10. Pour batter into the prepared springform pan and spread evenly.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  12. Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  13. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar using a fine-mesh sieve.
  14. Slice and enjoy!
