Flour-less Chocolate Cake with Coconut Whipped Cream and Blackberries
A few weeks ago, my husband and I went to a restaurant and ordered a flour-less chocolate cake for dessert. It was amazing. He is a chocolate lover, so I decided to try and recreate this dessert at home for Father's Day. After researching typical flour-less chocolate cakes, I understood that the fluffiness comes from the whipped egg whites more than anything else. I felt that taking the liberty to mess around with the type of sweeteners, chocolate, butter, etc. would still give the same creamy, rich taste I was looking for. I was right. This cake was a hit. Kyle asked if this cake can happen for every special occasion. I don't see why not. I love the way the blackberries cut the sweetness of the chocolate. I recommend using them. If you're not a blackberry fan, then perhaps add in your favorite berry instead.
