If there's one cake we think everyone actually needs, this is it. Rich, gooey and soul-satisfying, flourless chocolate cake is what you need to celebrate your best friend's birthday. It's the cake you need to make a bad day better, and when you need to impress a guest-it's just the thing. It will never be too fancy or too casual. After all, it's the little black dress of cakes. You can dress it up to suit your tastes or the occasion-how about raspberries and cream, or salted caramel and ice cream?-and you can never go wrong serving it up with a dusting of powdered sugar on top. Keep this cake recipe close-it'll never let you down.

12 oz bittersweet baking chocolate, chopped (three 4-oz bars)

1 cup sugar
6 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup Hershey's natural cocoa or Hershey's Special Dark cocoa
1 teaspoon espresso powder
Sweetened whipped cream, if desired
