I’ve been an avid Women’s Day reader for a while now- I got this recipe from the April, 2005 edition! It’s a keeper- just 3 ingredients and it’s so delicious. It’s dense and rich though, so I like to serve it in small portions along with fruit like raspberries.
I give a couple options for how to make this cake- depending on how you want to serve it. Originally, the recipe suggests you make the full portion and serve it as wedges, almost like a pie, as it serves 18. So if you’re bringing it to a family gathering, that would be a good option. However, if you’re making it for a smaller crowd, I suggest halving it and changing up the serving suggestion. I loved how the stacked circles looked! I halved it for the photos- we had scraps that we used to top ice cream. Yum.
Flourless Chocolate Fudge Truffle Cake with Raspberries
{Full Version- serves 20-22}
- 3 cup(s) (18 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 stick(s) (1 cup) butter
- 6 large eggs, at room temperature
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Coat an 8 x 3-in. cake pan with nonstick spray. Line bottom with parchment paper; spray paper. Have a larger roasting pan ready.
Beat eggs in a large bowl with mixer on high 7 minutes, or until tripled in size.
Melt chips and butter together on stove over medium-low heat; stir until well blended.
{Halved Version- serves 10-12}
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
Store any leftovers in the fridge.
CHEVRON PATTERN ON A CAKE: I sifted powdered sugar on the cake in a chevron pattern- it was super easy! First you’ll need to print off a Chevron Pattern that seems to fit the size of your cake. I could have done a smaller pattern, however it’s difficult to get nice crisp edges when the pattern is too small. After you print off your pattern, cut spaces between the pattern, leaving one edge in tact. After you’ve cut all the white space out, tape the other edge together with one long strand of tape on the front and back. This will give you 2 solid edges to hold on to. Lay it over the cake and sift powdered sugar on top, being mindful to stay as still as possible! {We did this with 2 people- one held the Chevron pattern, the other sifted.} After you’re pleased with the amount of sugar on top, carefully lift the Chevron pattern up and away from the cake. VOILA! {This is especially useful if you’re trying to hide a large blemish in the cake like I was!}

Hi Jessica! Ok. So. This really is to die for!!! It reminds me of a chocolate dessert I had in London at some restaurant that I don't remember the name of…but I sure do remember that dessert! It was incredibly rich, and looking at those ingredients you're using, I'm thinking this is my chance to experience that London delectable dessert again. *tears forming* Thanks for the
