How to Make Chocolate Cake Without Flour

Step 1:

Start by preheating the oven to 360F and greasing an 8-inch cake pan with butter then lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2:

Chop the chocolate and butter into small pieces and melt using the double boiler method. Sift in the cocoa powder, then add sugar, salt, espresso powder, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3:

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place in the preheated oven. Bake at 360F for 22 to 25 minutes.

Step 4:

Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Run a knife along the edge and invert onto a cake plate. Allow it to cool completely, then dust with powdered sugar, or cocoa powder, or cover it in ganache. Serve with berries.
