(Gluten-Free)
What is it – an amazing dessert, which instantly registered in the list of “best and favorite”? But close your eyes and imagine – a huge, in the form of a brownie cake (completely soft, nothing to do with a cupcake). Or no, it’s better this way: an incredible size truffle, soft and tender. Moreover, in the first minute, when you try a piece, it seems to you that it is a very chocolate cake, but in just a few seconds, the cake turns into a chocolate candy melting in your mouth … As they said at my house, this is a cake for guests. It is impossible to master more than one piece … Although I really want to.
And now let’s do it this way – a cake without flour … Who will be the first to guess what the secret is here? Why doesn’t it crumble? Yes, that’s right, it’s all about the eggs! This is an incredible delicacy, in fact – a large chocolate custard.
In fact, a cake without flour is much easier to make than a cake, say, without eggs. Flour is known to contain about 10% protein, while eggs are almost entirely protein, plus water and some fat. Do you get it? Flour in the recipe can be replaced with more or less good success, for example, ground nuts, or cocoa (which is found in cocoa powder, and in chocolate). The bonding power of eggs is very difficult to replicate.
Only 5 ingredients work wonders. Eggs, sugar, butter, and dark chocolate are all you need to make this fabulous treat. And no flour, which makes this a wonderful gluten-free dessert. An extraordinarily luxurious dark delicacy that is impossible not to fall in love with!
