Description
This decadent Flourless Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Coulis is a showstopper. The rich, fudgy cake is naturally gluten-free and pairs perfectly with the tartness of the fresh raspberry sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Raspberry Coulis:
- 1 pint fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour (or line with parchment paper) a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a double boiler (or heatproof bowl set over simmering water), melt the chocolate and butter, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight wobble.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
- Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
- Serve the cooled cake with a generous drizzle of raspberry coulis.

Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate.
- Be careful not to overbake the cake; it should be slightly fudgy in the center.
- The raspberry coulis can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries or a dusting of cocoa powder for extra elegance.
- For a dairy-free option, use vegan butter.
