Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 200 grams Light brown sugar
- 60 grams Unsalted butter (for caramel sauce)
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually mix in the melted chocolate mixture.
Add the salt and stir until the batter is smooth and glossy.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, remove the sides of the springform pan.
To make the caramel sauce, heat the light brown sugar and heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add the unsalted butter (for caramel sauce) and sea salt, and continue to cook, stirring, for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the caramel sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.
Slice the flourless chocolate cake and drizzle each serving with the homemade caramel sauce. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt or fresh berries. Serve and enjoy!
