How to Make No Flour Chocolate Decadence

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium heatproof bowl, combine 12 ounces (340g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips, 6 tablespoons (85g) of unsalted butter, 1 cup (240ml) of heavy whipping cream, and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar.
  4. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir until the chocolate, butter, and sugar are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large eggs with 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale yellow.
  6. Gently fold the whipped egg mixture into the melted chocolate mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  8. Place the pan in a larger baking sheet. Carefully pour enough hot water into the baking sheet to come halfway up the sides of the cake pan (this creates a bain-marie for even baking).
  9. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  10. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully remove the cake pan from the hot water (use oven mitts!).
  11. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set.
  12. Once chilled, carefully run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the pan to release the cake. Invert onto a serving plate.
