CHOCOLATE FLOURLESS CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Dust the bottom and sides with the cocoa, shaking to remove excess.
• Combine the bittersweet chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until completely melted and smooth, about 1 minute. (Alternatively, melt in a small metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth). Let cool slightly. Whisk in the granulated sugar. Whisk in the eggs 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition. Sift the remaining 1 cup cocoa over the mixture and whisk until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until just barely set, around 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and remove sides. Remove to a serving platter and let cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve with cinnamon ice cream.

CARNIVAL'S FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Grease a 9-inch springform pan, and dust with unsweetened cocoa; set aside.
• Melt chopped chocolate and butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
• Whisk together egg yolks and vanilla in a large bowl. Gradually stir in warm chocolate mixture, whisking until well blended.
• Beat egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until sugar dissolves and stiff peaks form. Fold one-third beaten egg white mixture into chocolate mixture; gently fold in remaining egg white mixture just until blended. Spoon batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Let stand in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes before removing sides of pan.

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan, or press a large sheet of foil into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch round cake pan, smoothing the sides, and generously butter the foil.
• Bring a few inches of water in a large saucepan to a simmer over medium heat. Set a large heatproof bowl over the saucepan and add the chocolate. When the chips look soft and melty, stir gently until smooth. Turn off the heat, and add the butter to the bowl. Stir gently until melted and smooth. Add the cocoa powder and stir until smooth, then take the bowl off the saucepan.
• Stir in the granulated sugar until incorporated, then add the eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla, then scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
• Bake until crackly and dry on top, and a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with some crumbs attached.
• Cool in the pan on a rack, then remove the sides of the springform pan or lift the cake out of the cake pan using the foil overhang. You can slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Or, to cut very neat slices, freeze the cooled cake until firm. Slice and warm up in the microwave or oven, if preferred. Serve the cake with whipped cream or ice cream, if you'd like. The cake can be wrapped and kept at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
