F is for Flourless Chocolate Cake



This my friends was another picture perfect recipe that was fairly easy, even though the title was pretty daunting. I'm sitting in my bed right now looking at these pictures and it's making my stomach grumble. I'm cravin' this lil' baby, because it would be a perfect midnight snack right about now. 





A flourless chocolate cake, also known as a molten cake,  is made with whole egg foam using low heat to form a kinda of thick chocolate custard. Many gluten-free eaters look to this recipe to satisfy their chocolate cake cravings. Jean-Georges Vongerchten and his restaurants  was known to popularize this dessert.

This was definitely a crowd pleaser, because the consistency was, for lack of better word, fudgy. It was kinda gooey, but still had a crispy crust, like a mix between a brownie outside, fudge lightness, and chocolate cake taste. The cocoa powder create an illusion of daintiness, but the taste packed a punch and it was also perfectly complemented by a heavenly scoop of ice cream. 
So until next time, show off those sweet teeth and don't forget to ask "What's for dessert?"
