Flourless Chocolate Cake Tips
Can you use other types of chocolate to make flourless chocolate cake?
Semisweet chocolate is the real star of this dessert, as it provides deep, dark flavor. However, if semisweet chocolate is not your thing, you certainly can substitute milk chocolate in its place. However, be sure to keep the unsweetened chocolate in the recipe to provide some balance in the cake. Refrain from using white chocolate here, as it won't carry the same consistency and texture that you need for this elegant dessert. Check out our guide to
types of baking chocolate to learn more about when to use the different kinds.
What can you use to garnish flourless chocolate cake?
Chocolate ganache really takes this flourless chocolate cake over the top! However, if you want to skip the ganache, considering garnishing your cake with
chocolate curls, a light dusting of cocoa powder, fresh berries such as strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries, or even sprigs of fresh mint for a pop of green.
How should you store flourless chocolate cake?
This flourless chocolate cake tastes best at room temperature, but should be stored in the refrigerator in a cake carrier or lidded container. Let it come to room temperature for a half hour before serving. If you liked this recipe, try more of our
