60 minutes
This delightful flourless chocolate cake is a true treat for lovers of rich chocolate flavor. Its roots trace back to American cuisine, where experiments with alternative baking methods brought this delicate dessert to the world. The recipe is based on the airy structure of whipped eggs, rich cocoa, and the intense flavor of dark chocolate. The chocolate and cream frosting gives the cake a special velvetiness and makes it truly luxurious. An ideal choice for those who prefer gluten-free desserts, this cake pairs excellently with a cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It can be served as an exquisite dessert at special events or simply enjoyed with family. A few hours in the refrigerator only enhance its tenderness, making each bite melt in your mouth.
