 no flour cake recipe
i really didn't run the carb/protein etc content on this cake but i figure any cake that doesn't have flour in it has to pretty good health wise. it also uses bittersweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate so you save calories/fat etc there too. i imagine you could replace the eggs with egg substitute and sugar with splenda although i didn't do that so i don't know how this would turn out.
10 oz bittersweet chocolate
3/4 cup unsalted butter/margerine
2 tsp vanilla
5 large eggs
1 cup sugar
Preparation:
Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Grease a spring form pan that is 9 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep. Line the bottom of the pan with a piece of parchment paper that has been cut to fit.
In a heavy saucepan, combine the chocolate and butter over medium to low heat and mix until smooth. Remove from burner and whisk in vanilla. In a large bowl, combine the eggs and sugar and beat on high speed for approximately five minutes. Mixture should triple in volume. Pour the chocolate mixture over the egg mixture and gently fold together until all chocolate is folded into egg mixture. Pour into pan and bake for about 45 minutes. Top should form a crust and a toothpick should come out with some wet batter when stuck in the middle of the cake.
Run a knife around the pan to loosen and transfer to a rack. Let cool. Release the spring and remove pan. Invert a plate over the cake and turn over. Lift off the bottom and remove parchment paper. You may decorate with non-dairy whipping and strawberries. The cake stays fresh for a week if kept in the refrigerator.
