Ingredients:

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 8 eggs, separated
  • 5 cups sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Prepare Pan: Grease a 9-inch springform pan with 1 tablespoon of butter and dust it with flour, ensuring the cake doesn’t stick.

  3. Melt Chocolate: In a metal bowl placed over a double boiler, melt the remaining butter and chocolate until smooth and glossy. Once melted, remove it from the heat and set aside.

  4. Prepare Yolk Mixture: Using a mixer, beat the egg yolks together with the sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.

  5. Beat Egg Whites: In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites and salt together until they form stiff peaks, creating a light and airy texture.

  6. Combine Mixtures: Carefully fold the melted chocolate mixture into the yolk mixture, ensuring it’s fully incorporated. Take your time with this step to maintain the airiness of the batter.

  7. Incorporate Egg Whites: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate-yolk mixture, ensuring not to deflate the batter. This step is crucial for achieving a fluffy texture in the cake.

  8. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until the cake is set and springs back lightly to the touch.

  9. Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.

  10. Prepare Icing: While the cake is cooling, prepare the icing by mixing together the remaining chocolate and heavy cream over a double boiler until smooth and creamy.

  11. Ice the Cake: Spread the chocolate icing evenly over the cooled cake, ensuring it covers the top and sides with a luxurious layer of chocolate goodness.

  12. Final Touch: Decorate the cake with fresh raspberries, adding a burst of fruity flavor and vibrant color. Serve slices of this divine dessert with a dollop of whipped cream on the side for an extra indulgent treat.

Enjoy every heavenly bite of this Holiday Flourless Chocolate Cake, a masterpiece of chocolatey perfection that’s bound to become a favorite for any occasion! 🍰🍫
