This 3-Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Cake is a rich, fudgy, and intensely chocolatey dessert made with just dark chocolate, eggs, and butter. Naturally gluten-free and incredibly easy to prepare, this simple flourless chocolate cake recipe delivers a decadent texture with minimal effort.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz (225 g) dark chocolate, chopped
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs (separated)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 6–7 inch round cake pan and line with parchment paper.
  • Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
  • Separate the eggs, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in another.
  • Whisk egg yolks into the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.
  • In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in batches, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, until edges are set and the center remains slightly soft.
  • Cool completely in the pan before removing.
  • Slice and serve, optionally dusted with cocoa powder.

Notes

Fold egg whites gently to maintain a light, airy texture.The center should remain slightly soft for a fudgy consistency.Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor.Let the cake cool fully to set properly before slicing.
