What can you surprise your loved one better with, than with a delicious fudgy chocolate cake? I know that I make my boyfriend very happy with this. He loves everything with chocolate. Brownies never survive long in our home and this gluten-free chocolate cake without flour is a perfect flavour combination from brownie and fudge. 

I share this recipe for Valentine’s day, but also when you don’t like this holiday, are single or just want to make this cake for a birthday party, it is great. The ingredients are simple and most people will like it (if they like chocolate at least). 

This cake does come with a warning: it is rich! Cut it into small pieces and start with a very small piece. If you feel like eating more, you can always take another piece 😉 

Flourless chocolate cake

This chocolate cake is naturally gluten-free because it doesn’t contain any flour. The delicious texture of this cake is created with only butter, eggs, flour, sugar and cacao powder. To let the rich flavour come out even better, I also add some espresso powder and vanilla extract. This is optional and can also be left out. 

For this cake you’ll need: 

• Unsalted butter: if you want to make the cake entirely lactose-free, you can also use margarine. 
• Dark chocolate: I used dark chocolate chips, but you can also use a dark chocolate bar and chop it into pieces.
• Granulated sugar
• Eggs: at room temperature
• Vanilla extract and espresso powder: as said this is optional. I love the flavour combination of coffee and chocolate, but if you don’t like it, you can also leave it out. I used espresso powder for instant coffee. If you have instant powder for normal coffee, that will also work. Just don’t use ground coffee.
