📝 Preparation Steps

To Make the Flourless Chocolate Cake Batter

Preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃). Butter and line a 9 inch spring form pan and set aside.
3
In a large microwaveable bowl melt the chocolate and butter together in ⏱️ 30 second intervals, stirring in between. (You can also do this over a bain-marie).
4
Allow the chocolate to cool slightly, then whisk in the sugar, egg yolks, one at a time, and vanilla extract.

Sift the cocoa powder and salt over the chocolate mixture and whisk to combine.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using an electric hand mixer) whip the egg whites on medium-high speed until medium peaks form.
7
Mix in a large spoonful of the egg whites to the chocolate mixture to loosen it. Then gently fold in the rest of the egg whites until just combined, taking care not to deflate the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
