Flourless Chocolate Cake Recipe Easy

This Flourless Chocolate Cake Recipe is decadent and rich without being overly sweet, made with bittersweet chocolate it provides  just the right amount of sweetness.  While it looks difficult to make it is really simple with a hand or stand mixer. The cake remains moist even after a long cooking time, almost like a molten cake, with slightly crisp edges. Ideal for those looking for gluten free deserts but delicious for anyone, I think the texture without  the flour is much better than a recipe with.

Ingredients:

6 eggs, separated

6 Tbsp. butter

10 oz. bag bittersweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp. Almond extract

Directions:

Using a hand or stand mixer, whip eggs until soft peaks form-mixture will be slightly  thickened and fluffy.

Gradually add in sugar and mix until stiff peaks are formed.  They are ready when you lift the mixer and  eggs mixture maintains its shape on the whisk.

Fold in ( this is done by using the spatula to fold mixture over onto itself gently) chocolate mixture a little at a time until all of it has been incorporated.
