    Flourless Chocolate Kahlua Cake (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    This recipe comes to us from Lin Goldkrantz.

    Ingredients:
    7 extra large egg whites
    1 cup sugar
    ½ pounds unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
    ½ pound European bittersweet chocolate, broken into small pieces.
    1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
    1 tablespoon espresso (I use strong instant coffee already mixed with water and cooled)
    3 tablespoons Kahlua

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 300F. Grease and flour a 10 inch spring form pan.

    Place egg whites and sugar in a mixing bowl and whip into firm peaks.

    Melt butter over medium heat and add chocolate, stirring till smooth....I do this on low setting in microwave.

    Quickly add vanilla, espresso/coffee, Kahlua and chocolate butter to egg whites and gently fold until smooth. Pour into prepared cake pan and bake on center rack for 40 minutes.

    Remove from oven. Wait 5 minutes and press sides down so the top of cake is even. Cool and refrigerate for 4 hours or until set. Remove cake from pan. Cut with hot knife into 8 pieces. Serve with berries or vanilla ice cream.

    Note: This cake is extremely rich. Do not give overly generous portions. Whipped cream or ice cream cut some of the richness.

    Instead of flouring the springform, I just used wax paper. The batter tastes like fluffy hot chocolate, and the cake is very rich and delicious. It looks very elegant garnished with powdered sugar, then cut into wedges and served with cool whip and fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries - raspberries taste best with it). A+

    This tastes so delicious, but it is terribly crumbly. Any suggestions?

    Scott Adams

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    This recipe comes to us from Chris Silker.
    4 ounces gluten-free bittersweet chocolate
    ½ cup gluten-free butter or margarine
    ¾ cup sugar
    3 eggs, lightly beaten
    ½ cup unsweetened cocoa
    Grease a 7- or 8-inch spring form pan or round pan. Line bottom with a circle of wax or parchment paper and grease paper.
    Break chocolate into pieces and put with butter or margarine into a microwave-safe bowl that will be big enough to ultimately hold all the ingredients. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and microwave until chocolate and butter are melted, being careful not to burn them! In my microwave, it takes no more than a minute and a half.
    Remove from microwave. Stir until chocolate and butter are well mixed. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs and mix well. Sift cocoa o...

    ½ cup espresso (or very strong coffee)
    ¼ teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    ¾ cup white sugar
    18 ounces chocolate
    1 cup unsalted butter
    6 eggs
    8 ounces whipping cream
    2 tablespoons powdered sugar
    Preheat oven to 300F degrees. Set aside an un-greased springform pan.
    Add espresso, salt, sugar and baking powder. Stir until completely dissolved and set aside. In microwave oven melt the chocolate, checking for doneness every 30 seconds. Cut the butter into pieces and beat it into chocolate, one piece at a time. Beat in the hot sugar-water. Slowly beat in eggs, one at a time.
    Pour the batter in pan and bake cake at 300F degrees for 45 minutes. The center will still look wet; it will also be a little fallen.
    As the cake cools, w...

      Very helpful. Oh yes, I am quite fastidious about not falling off the diet. It's just that the list of things I must add to the restrictions seems to grow.

      Black Pepper Reactions

      I did a little research and one kind of aphthous ulcer (aka, canker sore) is the Herpetiform canker sore. It is well-known that celiac disease can cause a skin rash known as herpetiformis dermatitis. I can't help but wonder if there is a connection. Celiac disease is also listed in this article as a cause for canker sores: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases...

      Coping with celiac

      Do you wear an M-95 mask left over from the pandemic when you handle flour? Do you eat out in restaurants? Do you take vitamins?
