Flourless Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache
Great desserts don’t always have to be complicated. Yes, there are some that have lots of ingredients and extra steps. Flourless Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache is not one of those recipes.
Other chocolate desserts that are rich and decadent to try are Chocolate Fruit Tart, Nutella Chocolate Cheesecake, Thin Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake, and Chocolate Cinnabon Skillet Cake.
If you just want to make the cake, it only uses three ingredients. Easy, peasy and a great no frills cake!
This recipe is adapted from https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Flourless-Chocolate-Cake-14478 . The Recipe from Epicurious makes a small cake. Gotta makes it bigger.
To make it my own, ingredients are adjusted. I love chocolate ganache, therefore, I think having this cake topped with ganache and some fresh fruit would make a spectacular dessert.
Doesn’t the fruit make your cake a bright and cheery dessert ? Also, the combination of the ganache, fruit and cake make one awesome, easy, and quick dessert. Take the time to decorate the top anyway you like or just pile the fruit on top. I choose to decorate one side in case someone does not like fruit.
Have extra fruit and top each slice when you serve it. Some confectioners sugar sprinkled on top makes it even prettier!
Slice a piece and grab your coffee or tea. MMM MMM!
