The Best Flourless CHOCOLATE CAKE with Claire Saffitz | Dessert Person

It’s a rich-but-light-at-same-time cake made with almond flour, a dash of amaretto, lots of chocolate, and lightened with egg whites for a mousse texture.

Not gonna lie, I solely bought Dessert Person because I enjoy your content and wanted to support you. It was supposed to be a coffee table book. But it was my daughter’s birthday and I thought, hell I can bake a cake from scratch. So I made Classic Birthday Cake and while it takes more effort than boxed cake the taste payoff is well worth it and so I don’t know if I can ever go back. So I hate you, I love you, thanks for the cookbook.

I made this guy for a friend's birthday getaway where the only things I had to bake the cake were the things I took with me. I used frangelico instead of the rum/amaretto because I had a tiny travel bottle, plus split the almond flour with some hazelnut flour. Whisked the thing by hand. Worth it, though, to give one of my best friends a birthday cake.

I made this with for my wife's bday using Hazelnut flour and Fratello liqueur. I added 1/4 teaspoon of espresso powder and 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum when adding the hazelnut flour. I also decreased the sugar to 1/4 cup. I topped it with Ina Garten's choc ganache. My wife liked it but thought it was best described as gluten free instead of flourless. I think in her mind, flourless chocolate cake is somewhat brownie like.

So my chef told me a story of when he was in college, he had an English prof that absolutely hated him. He handed in an essay he really worked hard on, and for no good reason got a poor mark. The only feedback that was given by the prof was "there is something missing from this, it's as if you made a cake without flour." Chef gives the essay back to the prof for remarking, except he stapled a recipe for flourless cake onto the back. Needless to say he did not do well in that course 🤣
