FAQ
Q: Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
A: While milk chocolate can be used, it will make the cake much sweeter and slightly less rich. For the best results, stick with high-quality dark chocolate.
Q: My cake collapsed a lot after baking. Did I do something wrong?
A: It’s normal for the cake to deflate slightly as it cools since it’s flourless and relies on egg whites for structure. If it collapses excessively, ensure your egg whites were beaten to stiff peaks and folded gently into the batter.
Q: Is this cake suitable for a gluten-free diet?
A: Yes, this recipe is naturally gluten-free as it contains no flour. Always check that your chocolate and other ingredients are certified gluten-free if needed.
Q: Can I prepare the cake ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! This cake tastes even better the next day as the flavors have time to develop. Store it in the fridge and bring it to room temperature before serving.
