Chocolate Lovers, I have the most decadent, sinful Flourless Indulgent Chocolate Explosion Cake to ever touch your gorgeous lips and I am kind of freaked out that I haven't shared this with you yet?!
This cake is truly magical... No flour is used, yet we have amazing cake! Yay!
Pure Chocolate Heaven here!
It's a super moist, chocolate fudge cake with a very dainty, crisp crust enrobing the cake. It reminds me of a delectable chocolate cloud of heavenly bliss and it's insane with chocolate explosions of love!
Now, if you have a lover or someone you really want to impress or just want to try a new chocolate indulgence, this is THE ONE to make! It tastes like a hot fudge cake, different texture. I kept mine at room temperature, for about 3 days, but I don't see why you couldn't refrigerate it if you wanted. Try it and let me know what you think!
You can make minis or a large cake. I think this is wonderful especially for Valentine's Day coming up, Christmas, Birthdays, you name it....it goes with everything and anything!
If you know anything at all about me...I do chocolate overload *sometimes*.
I try to do desserts in moderation for the most part, but this one was truly hard to stay out of.
It has a nice chocolate balance with the other ingredients involved and for me, that is scary because, I have a real issue with wanting to polish most desserts off in one sitting, and this would be one of them for sure. I could literally eat all of this and not have a chocolate hangover. If you've ever had a chocolate hangover, you know what I mean. If not, lucky you!
Or I try the freezer or fridge 'Hide and Try Not to Seek" method as much as possible, so it's not on the counters, staring at me, reeling me in. 🙂 I'm weak...it's p0-thetic!
Anyways...Look at all that chocolate gorgeousness!
I love sprinkling powdered sugar or some unsweetened chocolate powder on top to give it another layer of sweetness and lightness. Plus, it makes it look luxurious, does it not? I liked both and put some of both on some of the cakes too.
For a nice touch, add some colorful berries, whipped cream, ice cream and hot fudge or eat it as is.

Flourless Indulgent Chocolate Explosion Cake
Ingredients
- 8 oz semisweet baking chocolate chopped
- 4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate chopped
- ¾ cup unsalted butter cubed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 6 eggs room temperature
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon chocolate extract or vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar or unsweetened baking cocoa as desired
Instructions
- Heat oven to 325°F. Spray 9-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Microwave chocolates and butter on High in 1-minute increments until mixture has melted, by stirring in between each increment until it becomes smooth for 2-3 minutes and set aside.
- Using mixer, beat eggs, granulated sugar and extract for 10 minutes on medium-high to high. Mixture will lighten and become thick.
- Add in chocolate mixture with large rubber spatula and mix together until combined. I used the mixer on low to combine it all. You can fold if you prefer, but you have to get it mixed, so if you use the mixer, use it on low speed. Pour into pan.
- Bake about 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool completely; remove from pan.
- Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar or cocoa before serving.
Notes
Use a 9" springform pan for easy removal.

Just made the recipe but forgot to include the 1 teaspoon of extract. You do not mention it in the instructions and I believe that is why I forgot! Please update......

ChocolaTess says
Thank you so much Amy! 🙂

Yes definitely up your alley Kelly! 🙂
Kelsie | the itsy-bitsy kitchen says
The reason I've never made a flourless chocolate cake is that I know I'd go nuts and eat the whole thing in one (maybe two) sittings. This looks SOOOOOO GOOD! I'm craving it now like nothing else!
Amy (Savory Moments) says
This looks like a decadent and delicious cake!
Kelly @ Kelly Lynns Sweets and Treats says

ChocolaTess says
Heather, I had no problem easing into 2018, I think it's because I'm missing my other half of my family and I know I'm going to see them in mid-January. It's been way too long! Then when I get there, time can slow down. hehe Happy 2018!!
ChocolaTess says
It is so decadent Catherine! Thank you so much! 🙂
heather (delicious not gorgeous) says
this looks so decadent!!! someone started mentioning valentine's day already (what is this with holidays getting these ridiculously long ramp up periods?!), and even though my mind is still kind of in 2017 (it will be weeks before i start writing 2018 instead of 2017), this sounds like it'd be the best kind of valentine's day dessert (:
Catherine says
Oh my, how heavenly Kim! That chocolate crust on top! I will be trying this as soon as possible, such a decadent looking cake!
