    Tips For Making Flourless Cakes

    Don't Over-mix The Cake Batter & Chocolate

    If you over-mix the batter, the cake may become deflated. Fold gently until it is completely combined.

    Likewise with the chocolate. It can becomes clumpy if over-mixed so stop mixing once it has melted.

    Don't Open The Oven Door

    This may cause the cake to collapse and sink. Let the cake bake without checking on it until time is almost up.

    Description

    My vegan flourless chocolate cake is so fudgy and tasty. It's one of the most unique gluten free cakes that i've ever made. I hope enjoy it. 


    Ingredients

    Units Scale

    For the cake batter:

    • 230g vegan dark chocolate
    • 150g coconut cream (thick part from refrigerated can of coconut milk)
    • 60g cornstarch
    • 140ml soy milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
    • 120g ground almonds
    • 150g brown sugar
    • 50g cocoa powder
    • 0.25 teaspoons salt

    Instructions

    Preparation:

    1. Preheat your oven to 163 Celsius (325F).
    2. Grease the base and sides of a round, 8” springform cake tin with vegan butter.

    Make the chocolate cake:

    1. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the soy milk until fully combined. Mix in the vanilla and maple syrup. Set aside.
    2. Melt the dark chocolate using the double-boiling (bain-marie) method over a medium heat. Whisk in the coconut cream until it is melted into the chocolate mixture. Remove from the heat.
    3. Add the soy milk mixture to the chocolate and mix in until just combined.
    4. Finally, gently fold in the ground almonds, brown sugar, cocoa powder and salt until a smooth chocolate batter forms.
    5. Add the mixture to the prepared lined tin. Smooth it out on top.

    Bake the cake:

    1. Place the cake in the centre of the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes. Check the doneness of the cake by inserting a skewer into the centre. If it comes out clean, it’s ready.
    2. Let the cake cool fully, then slice and serve.
