Decadent Flourless Chocolate Cake

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Ok so I've been eyeing this cake all week and just finished making it for Easter dessert (it's currently in the oven). It was super easy to make, which is great. The only thing is that I followed the directions but when it said to add the cinnamon and chocolate (I don't have any brandy to use), I stirred it all together. But I think by doing this, I lost all the nice fluffiness that was in the egg/sugar mixture. I'm not sure if I was literally supposed to just ADD the chocolate and cinnamon and not stir it in until I folded in the cream? Or if I was supposed to fold it in gently? In any case, I'm hopeful it will still be delicious, but I'm a little disappointed that it might be very heavy. I will provide an update once it's done :)
