So! I finally made something chocolate. I was pretty lazy about this one since the last time I tried melting chocolate I ended up burning the whole thing and it just wasn’t pretty. Then I bought heavy cream 2x and they spoiled before I got around to trying making the truffles. So, there it was, a huge chunk of chocolate sitting in my frig, about 1.5lbs pure coco, I gotta do something with it! I tried doing the truffles but just looking at the recipe made me tired. Plus I had to buy the melon ball scooper, an ice cream scooper, a thermometer, parchment paper… really starting to look expensive. Finally I found a flourless chocolate cake recipe I thought would be perfect! Prep time only 40 Min. Stick and half of butter, chocolate, sugar, eggs and a teaspoon of vanilla and I’m set! Easy enough!~

Step 1: chop chocolate in fine pieces for melting. So I’m looking at this brick of chocolate, how the hell am I supposed to chop it up into pieces? And it states here prep time was only 40 minutes, it would take me hours chiseling at this thing! All the sudden, DING! I put the brick of chocolate in a zip lock bag and walked outside with a hammer! Perfect! Finely chopped pieces it is! Still on schedule with the 40 min prep time!

Step 2: Melt chocolate with butter. Okay this was the part I had trouble with last time, but I did pretty well this time since my chocolate was in fine pieces, thanks to my genius idea, it melted quite easily.

Step 3: Mix chocolate with eggs beat on high for 5 minutes. Easy enough, especially with my SUPER DUPER Kitchen Aid Mixer!

Step 4: Fold in 2 table spoon of sugar and flour. DONE!

Step 5: Pour it in a pan, bake for 15 minutes. DING! Oven’s ready!

Total Time: 60 minutes.

I gotta say, that was pretty easy! My favorite part was probably hammering the crap out of that brick of chocolate.

I have to admit, the flourless chocolate cake didn’t come out looking too pretty and it tasted so so. Knowing that there is a stick and a half of butter in it really turned me off from eating it. It’s usually like that when I bake so, solution? Co-workers! Brought it to work, it was gone by noon! Love it! Next project!
