Chocolate, Chocolate and More Chocolate

Flourless cake takes on a texture closer to fudge than cake. But there’s no grainy feel to it. The inside of this cake is dense and silky with a thick, creamy chocolate ganache on top. It tastes and feels heavenly.

The raspberry garnish and dusting of powdered sugar are optional but highly suggested for maximum enjoyment! You could even serve it with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for good measure. Either way, you’ll want to savor every bite.

Frosting vs. Ganache

What’s the difference between frosting and ganache? Sugar, mostly! Whipped chocolate ganache is a glaze made of melted semi-sweet chocolate and cream (and sometimes a little gelatin or butter). Chocolate frosting is made with cocoa powder, butter, and a lot of sugar.
