  • Salt: add kosher salt to enhance the flavor of the other ingredients. 
  • Sugar: use regular, granulated sugar. 
  • Eggs: bring the eggs to room temperature.
  • Vanilla Extract: Adds a mild vanilla flavor and enhances the taste of the other ingredients.

  • Whipped Cream: to garnish

How do I keep my cake from sticking to the pan?

How to store flourless chocolate cake?

You can store this flourless chocolate torte in the fridge for up to 4 days. If you’ve topped it with raspberries, you should remove them, so they don’t make the cake soggy.
