This flourless chocolate cake is made with just three ingredients: dark chocolate, butter, and eggs. Melt the chocolate and butter over simmering water, beat in the egg yolks, then gently fold in the beaten egg whites. Bake the cake in a water bath at 130 °C (265 °F) for about 25 minutes in a pan no larger than 20 cm in diameter. Once cooled, it needs only a dusting of powdered sugar, making it a good option for unexpected guests.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Preheat the oven to 130 °C (265 °F). Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it over simmering water. Toward the end, add the butter, cut into pieces.
Separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks into the melted chocolate, then beat the egg whites until stiff.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture and pour the batter into a cake pan no larger than 20 cm in diameter. Set the pan in a larger baking pan and pour in hot water until it reaches about halfway up the depth of the batter. Bake for about 25 minutes, then let cool, dust lightly with powdered sugar, and store in the refrigerator.

Tip: Wrap the outside of a removable-bottom cake pan in two layers of aluminum foil to keep water from the water bath from seeping in. Beat the egg whites just until stiff; overbeaten whites become grainy and leave lumps when folded into the chocolate.
