Flourless Chocolate Cake with Coffee Mousse

Flourless Chocolate Cake with Coffee Mousse recipe


Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I thought my new post should be a chocolate dessert. Now a days short cooking videos are very popular in social media and people tend to share a lot of those videos. Although I love to watch such videos, I am not at all comfortable making video recipes :) :) …. Today’s recipe is one such shared recipe on Facebook. I immediately loved the recipe as it has my favourite chocolate and coffee in it. The chocolate cake is flourless and it is great for those who have gluten intolerance. The rich and fudgy chocolate base is topped with aromatic, soft and silky coffee mousse. It is absolutely heavenly and decadent dessert to make for your loved one!

Flourless Chocolate Cake with Coffee Mousse
(Recipe from here)
Makes about 8-10 servings
Ingredients:

Flourless Chocolate Cake
Butter - ½ cup (110g)
Semisweet chocolate - 150g (5 oz )
Eggs - 3, separated
Sugar - ½ (100g)
Unsweetened cocoa powder - 1 tbsp 
Salt - a pinch

Coffee Mousse
Egg yolks - 2
Sugar - ½ cup (100g)
Corn flour / corn starch - 1 ½ tbsp 
Warm milk - 2/3 cup (160ml)
Vanilla essence - ½ tsp 
Instant coffee - 1 tbsp 
Gelatine powder - ½  tbsp 
Cold water - 2 tbsp 
Whipping cream - 1 cup (240g), chilled

Method:

Flourless Chocolate Cake
  • Grease and line a 8-inch (20 cm) spring form pan (with a removable base) with parchment paper. Separate egg yolks from whites. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Melt chocolate and butter over a bain-marie (double boil) until smooth. Let it cool slightly. Add yolks one at a time and stir well. Stir in cocoa powder and salt. 
  • Whip egg whites until foamy using a mixer. Gradually add sugar and whip until stiff peaks form.  Gently fold the whipped whites into chocolate mixture.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes. Let it cool completely in the pan over a cooling rack.
Prepare the coffee mousse:
  • Stir egg yolks with sugar until creamy and pale yellow coloured. Stir in corn starch. Gradually whisk in the warm milk until completely combined.
  • Place the yolks mixture into a small saucepan and cook over low heat while stirring until boils and thickens.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla essence and instant coffee. Let it cool.
  • Dissolve gelatine in 2 tbsp cold water and let it swell for about 5 to 10 minutes. Place over low heat just until the gelatine dissolves and then pour it over coffee mixture.
  • Whip the cold whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually incorporate into coffee mixture.
  • Spread the coffee mousse over the chocolate cake in the pan, using an offset spatula.
  • Cover and refrigerate for about 4 hrs or overnight to set before serving.
  • Run a warm knife around the edges of the cake to remove the sides of the pan.
  • Dust the top of the cake with cocoa powder.
  • Using a warm knife cut the cake into slices and serve.
