Ingredients:
– 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 1/2 cup Splenda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 large eggs, room temperature
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the mixture.
3. Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, stir in the Splenda, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The mixture should be creamy and well incorporated.
5. Sift the cocoa powder over the chocolate batter and gently fold it in until no streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix as this could make the cake dense.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly soft. The cake will continue to set as it cools.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with a little cocoa powder for an extra touch of elegance.
10. Slice and serve the Flourless Chocolate Cake Splenda on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of your favorite low-sugar ice cream. Enjoy the rich chocolaty flavor without the guilt of excess sugar.
By using Splenda as a sugar substitute, you can enjoy a moist and decadent Flourless Chocolate Cake that’s perfect for any occasion. Feel free to personalize this recipe by adding nuts, fresh berries, or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate sauce for additional flair. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply treating yourself to a delightful dessert, this recipe is a surefire way to satisfy your cravings for something sweet and chocolatey.
