2 tablespoons instant espresso powder


4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped


1/2 cup vegetable oil

Add 1/3 of chocolate-sour cream mixture to dry ingredients and whisk to blend. Add remaining chocolate-sour cream mixture in 2 more additions, whisking well after each addition.

Flourless Chocolate Cake


Perfect for chocolate lovers! Great for entertaining, deceptively easy to make. Perfect for people who can't have gluten. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream, or simply dusted with icing sugar. I flour the pan using cocoa powder so it won't leave white marks on the cake and keeps it totally gluten free.





4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped


1/2 cup butter


3/4 cup white sugar


1/2 cup cocoa powder


3 eggs, beaten


1 tsp vanilla extract


1 Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch round cake pan, and dust with cocoa powder.


2 In the top of a double boiler over lightly simmering water, melt chocolate and butter. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, and vanilla. Pour into prepared pan.


3 Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Slices can also be reheated for 20 to 30 seconds in the microwave before serving.





Servings: 8


Yield: 1 - 8 inch round cake.


Preparation time: 15 minutes


Cooking time: 30 minutes


Ready in: 45 minutes
Ingredients:


3 whole eggs


3 egg whites


2 ounces of cream cheese


1 can of evaporated milk


1 can of condensed milk


1 Teaspoon of vanilla


3/4 cup of sugar





Procedure:


Take the sugar and caramelize it in a small sauce pan. Do not let the sugar burn. It should be a golden caramel color. Pour this caramel into an 8'; round dish. Make sure to coat the bottom and the sides of the pan.


Place all other ingredients in a blender and mix till it has a smooth consistency. Pour into the pan filled with caramel. Place pan in ';ba帽o de Maria';. Bano de maria is a larger pan that has an been filled with an inch of water. This will help cook the flan. Place the larger pan with flan pan in it in the oven at 350 degrees. (25-30 minutes)





You can check the flan by poking it center with a knife. If the knife comes out clean then the flan is done.
