Flourless Chocolate Berry Cake
Ingredients
For the cake:
- Gluten-free nonstick cooking spray
- 2 sticks, 1 cup unsalted butter
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, 1½ cups
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- 6 tablespoons crème de cassis or raspberry liqueur
- Pinch kosher or fine sea salt
- 6 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the glaze:
- 3 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, ½ cup
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons crème de cassis or raspberry liqueur
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the cream and berries:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
- 1½ cups mixed berries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Cut a piece of parchment or waxed paper in a circle to fit the bottom of the pan. Place the paper in the pan and spray with more cooking spray.
- Make the cake: Melt the butter and chocolate chips together in a microwave (about 2 minutes) or on top of a double boiler. Mix together the sugar, cocoa powder, crème de cassis, and salt. Add to the chocolate mixture. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45 minutes. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then finish cooling on a wire rack.
- Make the glaze: Place the chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl. Bring the cream just to a boil in a small pan over medium heat. Pour the cream over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Stir in the crème de cassis and vanilla. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake.
- To serve, whip the cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Top the cake with the whipped cream and berries.
