It’s true when they say that there is a chocolate cake for everyone. Flourless chocolate cake is a great alternative for people who cannot have flour (such as those with Celiac disease) and it is also great for something different from the traditional cake mix. If you have an allergy to flour or want to cut back the flour in your diet, you may enjoy this cake. It is also perfect for chocolate lovers (particularly chocolate cake lovers) who want to experiment with different styles and flavors of cakes. It’s also very simple to make once you know how.
Sometimes people mistake flourless chocolate cake for brownies because the cake looks a bit like brownies. However, there are some big differences in the two. A true flourless chocolate cake may also be referred to as a torte. The main difference between chocolate brownies and flourless chocolate cake is the flour. The other difference when making flourless chocolate cake is that you whip the eggs separately and do not include any fat (egg yolk). It should be egg whites only.
Flourless chocolate cake can be enjoyed plain, with typical cake frosting or with fruits and syrups on top. It is served both warm and cold and often served dusted with cocoa powder or powdered sugar. Many people also enjoy it with a light whipped cream or à la mode (with ice cream). If you’re baking a flourless chocolate cake, you have the freedom to be as creative as you’d like with your toppings.
