A flourless chocolate cake is a type of cake made from an aerated chocolate custard. It is prepared with a whole egg foam in a manner similar to a Génoise cake, using low heat from the melted chocolate to stabilize the protein matrix (which contains only the starch naturally present in the chocolate) and then baked in a bain-marie. While traditionally considered a restaurant-style dessert, flourless chocolate cake is also popular for gluten-free diets.

I bought a flourless chocolate cake from Thyme and Again to bring to a friend's house for an after-dinner dessert. It was beautiful, and we couldn't resist taking a bite before dinner. The next thing we knew, the flow of the meal had been shuffled around with the cake in its entirety becoming the appetizer. It was spectacular: dense and rich and perfectly melting in the mouth, and the flavour was intensely chocolatey. This is probably the best cake I've had in years.
