Directions
La Bete Noire Chocolate Flourless Cake, This cake is very rich! The consistency is very similar to cheesecake So yummy! From Bon Appetit Magazine , Made this for my son’s b-day party Dead-easy and YES, it would hold it’s own against a flourless cake from any fine restaurant or bakery that I have ever had Halved the recipe, added about 1/8 tsp instant espresso, put in an 8 springform inside a 9 x 13 baking dish, put in 325 oven for approx 40 mins & otherwise baked as instructed- turned out perfectly! Found about 1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries in freezer- pulsed up in food pricessor with about 1 tsp of Chambord, organic powdered sugar to taste (prob about 3/4 tsp) & enough warm water to achieve a thick coulis, strained & served drizzled over cake w/ slightly sweetened fresh organic whipped cream The tartness of the coulis is a wonderful compliment to the cake, enhances flavor & balances richness well BTW- used all semisweet chocolate for cake & 50/50 semisweet/ bittersweet for ganache Make this for the chocolate lover in your life- they’ll LOVE it!, This is amazing! Exactly everything I hoped it would be Flourless chocolate cake is my favorite dessert When we moved to a rural area I was desperate to find a way to satisfy my cravings, this recipe delivers! Perfect replica of my favorite restaurant’s cake (Bonus- I can make a whole cake for about the price of a slice out ) Slices freeze well which is good because it’s so rich it’s impossible for the 2 of us to eat it all at once Thank you!
