Flourless Bittersweet Chocolate Chili Cake

Flourless Bittersweet Chocolate Chili Cake

Sharing is caring!

I wanted to spice up things up for our entry into the Scharffen Berger Chocolate Adventure Contest, as well as for a dinner party so I made this Flourless Bittersweet Chocolate Chili Cake.  I used my go-to flourless chocolate cake recipe and added dried chilies which I ground in a coffee grinder (I keep one just for spices).  To cool down the spicy chilies I served this cake with salted caramel gelato.  It was a hit with all our guests, even the children!

How To:

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.

The title of this recipe stopped me in my blog browsing tracks. With chocolate, chilis, caramel and sea salt, all flavor bases are covered. Simply put: YUM.
