Rich and decadent like a delicate fudge, a small slice of this flourless chocolate cake is all you need to get your fix.

Flourless Chocolate Torte

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch springform pan and dust with cocoa powder.

In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of butter with 1/4 cup of the heavy cream over medium-low heat until butter is melted. Add bittersweet chocolate and stir until melted and smooth; remove from heat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder; whisk in bittersweet chocolate mixture.

Transfer the batter to prepared pan and bake until puffed and set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pan for 1 hour. Run a knife around the edge of the cake before unmolding.

Using an electric mixer, beat remaining 1 cup of heavy cream with crème fraiche and confectioners’ sugar until soft peaks form. Dust cake with confectioners’ sugar and serve with whipped cream.
