FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE

DIRECTIONS:

CAKE

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 & lightly grease a metal 8” round cake pan. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit into the bottom of your cake pan

Step 2

TO MAKE THE CAKE: Ad chocolate & butter together into a microwave-safe bowl & heat until the butter is melted & your chips are soft. Stir until the chips melt. You can briefly reheat if needed.

Step 3

Transfer melted chocolate/butter to a mixing bowl.

Step 4

Stir in Swerve, salt & vanilla

Step 5

Add the eggs, beating briefly until you have a smooth texture. Add cocoa powder & mix just to combine.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into your prepared pan

Step 7

Bake for 25 minutes. A thin crust will form on top. Remove from oven & let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Loosen the edges of the pan with an icing spatula or butter knife. Turn the cake over onto a serving dish. The bottom becomes the top of your cake. The edges may crumble a little which is fine. Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing.

GLAZE

Step 1

Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream on medium heat until its almost simmering. There should be small bubbles around the edge.

Step 2

Pour the cream over the chips, stir briefly to combine & let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir again. Slow at 1st and then more vigorously until the chocolate is melted completely & appears smooth. If any pieces of chocolate remain, reheat briefly in the microwave. Stir.

Step 4

Spoon the glaze over the cake and drip over sides a little bit.

Step 5

You can now either enjoy this molten lava-like goodness OR you can let the glaze set over a few hours and then enjoy!
