Cardamon Orange Flourless Chocolate Cake

A recipe for an easy flourless chocolate cake which is lightly scented with orange zest and cardamon.

flourless cake

I have been making this cake for a few months now;  no I am not keeping it a secret, I just keep forgetting to share it with you.  With the holidays coming up, I thought, this would be a perfect dessert to serve, as it is easy and very flavorful.  The orange zest gives it a bit of zing, while the cardamon lightly adds a warm wintry spice.  I like to serve it with creme fraiche which I sweeten with light brown sugar.

Recipe:   Cardamon Orange Flourless Chocolate Cake

8 oz. good quality bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled

1 stick of good quality unsalted butter

1 teaspoon ground cardamon

1 orange, zested

4 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

Preheat oven to 350.  Creme the butter until light and fluffy.  Add the sugar and mix just to incorporate.  Add the eggs one at a time until combined.  Mix in the chocolate and spices.  Pour into a lightly buttered pan, I like to use a tart pan.  Bake for 25 minutes.  Let cool for about 10 minutes before removing from pan.  Serve.  Eat.
