Flourless Chocolate Cake

Let’s start from.. I love flour, so the reason why this is my favorite cake is not because is flourless but for his texture and above all the addition of the cacao nibs I add to the original recipe.

INGREDIENTS

4 oz fine bitter-sweet chocolate (63% cacao is my favorite)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
3/4 cup of brown sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened cacao powder
a good amount of cacao nibs
serve it with orange zest marmalade, or whipped cream and fresh raspberries, or ice-cream

Preheat the oven at 375° F. Butter a 8 inch round pan or line with parchment paper.
Melt in a double boiler the batter and the chocolate. When they are melted turn off the flame and whisk the sugar in. Add the eggs and whisk more and vigorously. Sift the cacao powder until just combined. Now pour it into the pan and add a layer of cacao nibs. I love to cover the surface because that’s what it gives the texture (see the pictures). Bake it for 25 minutes until the top is kind of crispy.
