This cake only has 5 basic ingredients that you probably have on hand. So if you want to make your own Flourless Chocolate Cake, then follow the step by step guide below or watch the video tutorial here:

• Hamilton Beach Hand Mixer
• Cuisinart Oven Mitts
• Pyrex Mixing Bowl
• Pyrex Bowl 3 Set
• Rubber Spatula
• Ice cream scoop

Ingredients

• 12 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 6 large eggs (room temperature)
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

Optional

• Confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder for sprinkling
• Ice Cream

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 2-inch spring form pan with nonstick spray.

Put the chocolate, butter, and salt in a large heat safe bowl (I am using a large glass bowl).

Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan without touching the water (you are making a double boiler). Stir occasionally until mixture is completely melted.

Beat the eggs and sugar with a standing or handheld mixer until light and thickened, about 8 to 10 minutes. The egg mixture will double in volume.

Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped eggs until evenly combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out wet but not gooey, about 1 hour and 25 minute.

Remove cake from the oven and cool on a rack. When ready to serve remove ring from spring form mold. Dust cake with confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder.

Serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desired. The top of the cake will crack, and the center is pudding like. Enjoy!
