Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Sugar-free whipped cream or berries for serving (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, melt the unsweetened baking chocolate and unsalted butter together, either over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Once melted and smooth, remove the chocolate mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  5. Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until smooth and fully incorporated.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
  8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  9. Once cooled, refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  10. When ready to serve, carefully run a knife around the edges of the cake to loosen it from the pan, then invert it onto a serving platter.
  11. Garnish with sugar-free whipped cream or fresh berries if desired.
  12. Slice and serve the Decadent Low-Carb Flourless Chocolate Cake, savoring each rich and indulgent bite.
