Flourless chocolate cake?!
Flourless chocolate cake?
For father's day, I would like to make my father a flourless chocolate cake, but I do not have an electric mixer. Is there a flourless chocolate cake recipe that I can make without using an electric mixer?
Answers:
that's gotta be hard :-S most recipes i got for flourless choc cake also using electric mixer, maybe try this following, if you could beat the egg white until stiff without electric mixer, this might work, good luck!
Flourless Chocolate Cake
12 servings/Serving size: 1 slice
6 Tbsp margarine
10&3/4 tsp Equal? for Recipes or 36 packets Equal? sweetener or
1&1/2 cups Equal? SpoonfulT
4 oz unsweetened chocolate
1/3 cup skim milk
1/3 cup apricot preserves with NutraSweet? brand sweetener or
apricot spreadable fruit
3 egg whites
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp instant espresso coffee crystals
1/8 tsp salt
1 egg yolk
Rich Chocolate Glaze (optional, see recipe below)
1 tsp vanilla
Heat margarine, chocolate, milk, apricot preserves, and espresso crystals in
small saucepan, whisking frequently, until
chocolate is almost melted.
Remove pan from heat; continue whisking until chocolate is melted and mixture is
smooth. Whisk in egg yolk and vanilla; add Equal?, whisking until smooth.
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar to stiff peaks in large bowl. Fold chocolate
mixture into egg whites; fold in combined
flour and salt.
Lightly grease bottom of 9-inch round cake pan and line with parchment or baking
paper. Pour cake batter into pan. Bake in preheated 350-degree oven until cake
is just firm when lightly touched, 18 to 20 minutes, and toothpick comes out
clean
(do not over bake). Carefully loosen side of cake from pan with small sharp
knife, which will keep cake from cracking as it
cools.
Cool cake completely in pan on wire rack; refrigerate until chilled, 1 to 2
hours.
Remove cake from pan and place on serving plate. Spread with Rich Chocolate
Glaze, if desired. Garnish with light whipped topping, chocolate drizzle, and/or
raspberries, if desired.

Do you have a blender or an emersion blender? You could use these for that process. If not, it will just be more mixing on your part but any recipe should be fine with hand mixing. Just go QUICK! Good luck.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup white sugar
18 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
1 cup unsalted butter
6 eggs
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease one 10 inch round cake pan and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat combine the water, salt and sugar. Stir until completely dissolved and set aside.
Either in the top half of a double boiler or in a microwave oven melt the bittersweet chocolate. Pour the chocolate into the bowl of an electric mixer.
Cut the butter into pieces and beat the butter into the chocolate, 1 piece at a time. Beat in the hot sugar-water. Slowly beat in the eggs, one at a time.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Have a pan larger than the cake pan ready, put the cake pan in the larger pan and fill the pan with boiling water halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
Bake cake in the water bath at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 45 minutes. The center will still look wet. Chill cake overnight in the pan. To unmold, dip the bottom of the cake pan in hot water for 10 seconds and invert onto a serving plate.
You dont need a mixer to make ANY cake..just lots of elbow grease!!
