Chipotle Flourless Chocolate Cake
This flourless chocolate cake by Garrett is to-die-for. Almost like fudge. ~Elise
For a recent potluck for all the Sacramento food bloggers I decided to throw together this intensely decadent and very easy chocolate torte. The original recipe is based around David Lebovitz's Chocolate Idiot Cake, however, this one bakes up much more quickly, uses less butter, and has a bit of burn to it. The chipotle pepper and cinnamon give a nice bit of spice and a slow, sweet tingle that lingers after each bite.
If you can't get chipotle chili powder, ancho chili powder will work fine as well. As the ingredients in this are few, and thus their flavors are of the utmost importance I highly suggest you splurge a bit for a high quality chocolate; Guittard and Scharffen Berger are excellent choices.
