How To Make flourless chocolate cake w/ caramel filling
-
Step 1CARAMEL FILLING: In a medium sauce pan, combine the sugar & syrup. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula. Once it is caramel colored, add the butter & stir until the butter is melted. Add the cream & stir until it's all combined. Bring it back to the heat if you get clumps & stir it until they're dissolved. Add the salt & vanilla. Refrigerate overnight until it's pretty firm. Beat it with the cold butter until smooth & add powdered sugar.
-
Step 2CAKE: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9" x 13" pan with parchment paper. Melt the butter & then add the chocolate, whisking until the chocolate is melted & the mixture is smooth. Meanwhile, beat the eggs & sugar for about five minutes until they are very pale & about doubled in volume. Slowly add the vanilla & coffee. Then sift in the cocoa powder & salt & mix until smooth. Slowly add in the chocolate & butter mixture until smooth. Poor into the prepared pan & bake for about 35 minutes or until the top has a thin crust, the edges are set, and a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs attached. Put it in the fridge if you want it to cool faster before you begin assembling.
