CHEF JOHN'S CHOCOLATE DECADENCE



Chef John's Chocolate Decadence image

This 'flourless' chocolate cake was all the rage in the 1980s. As I vaguely remember, the decade celebrated decadent overindulgence and this dessert is that and more. By modern standards, this cake is ridiculously rich. In fact, some of you may find it too intense, but most true chocolate fiends will be in heaven. Serve with ice-cold fresh raspberry sauce.

Time 2h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

18 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 large eggs, at room temperature
4 teaspoons white sugar
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Butter and flour a 9-inch cake pan.
  • Melt semisweet chocolate and unsalted butter together in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula, until chocolate and butter are completely melted and combined. Remove from heat.
  • Beat eggs and sugar together in a bowl with a whisk or an electric mixer until pale and very thick, 5 to 10 minutes. Sift in flour, cayenne, and salt; whisk to combine.
  • Pour 1/4 of the egg mixture into chocolate mixture; stir to combine. Pour chocolate mixture into remaining egg mixture and stir until cake batter is combined. Pour batter into prepared cake pan.

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

For batter:
12 ounce semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
For sauce:
10-ounce package frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed
1/4 cup sugar
Accompaniment:
unsweetened whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9- by 2-inch round cake pan and line bottom with a round of wax paper. Butter paper and dust pan with flour, knocking out excess.
  • Make batter:
  • Melt chocolate and butter in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, whisking until smooth.
  • Cool slightly.
  • Beat together eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until pale yellow, thick, and a ribbon forms when beaters are lifted, about 4 minutes with a standing mixer or 8 minutes with a handheld. Fold one fourth of egg mixture into chocolate mixture to lighten, then gently fold in remaining egg mixture.
  • Pour batter into cake pan and rap pan sharply on counter to eliminate air bubbles. Put cake pan in a hot water bath and place in middle of oven. Bake 45 minutes (top will be set, but a tester will not come out clean).
  • Remove cake from water bath and cool completely in pan on a rack. Run a thin knife around edge of cake and chill, covered, at least 4 hours and up to 12.
  • Make sauce:
  • Purée raspberries with sugar in a food processor or blender, then force through a fine sieve into a bowl. Chill until ready to serve.
  • Remove cake from pan:
  • Put cake pan directly on a burner at very low heat. Move pan around on burner to warm bottom, about 30 seconds, then shake pan to loosen cake. Invert cake onto a rack. Remove wax paper and invert cake onto a serving plate.
  • Bring cake to room temperature. Serve with sauce and whipped cream.

CHOCOLATE DECADENCE CAKE III

This is a very rich cake, a small piece goes a long way. The best way to describe it is that it's a cross between a moist brownie and fudge. Be sure to use good quality chocolate. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
