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!
