Easy Flourless Chocolate Cake

Valentines's Day - Holidays and Events

This will impress any guests you entertain and you don't have to tell them how easy it was! Serve with chocolate ganache and raspberry sauce. I used recipes I found here on Allrecipes.com for chocolate ganache (by INGRIDEVOGEL) and raspberry sauce (by The_Tattooed_Chef). The raspberry sauce complements all that chocolate and makes the cake moist. Both of these recipes are easy, simple, and exceptional as well.

Step 3

Step 4

Place cake pan inside a large baking dish. Pour enough water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
