Flourless Chocolate Cake (Sokolatopita)
This recipe comes together so swiftly and seamlessly. I also love the fact that it’s 7 ingredients that most of us have in our house already. This is the perfect dessert for those last minute occasions where you need something sweet to blow out a candle or celebrate an achievement.
ingredients:
The butter and chocolate are what make this cake rich and fudgey. You can’t beat the combination. Of course, we are lacking any flour which for some is a key lack of ingredients. The espresso powder is listed as optional, however, I definitely implore you to pick some up if you like baking with chocolate it really enhances the flavor.
I also recommend sifting the cacao powder so that it is easy to mix into the batter and no small powder bubbles form.
As for the toppings, I only had powdered sugar and fresh raspberries. The raspberries paired SO well with the cake, I mean perfect flavor combination. If you are serving this warm, I definitely recommend topping each slice with some vanilla ice cream.

Can you use monk fruit instead of sugar
