This chocolate cake is made with only two ingredients is healthy and delicious! And it is also gluten-free, lactose-free and sugar-free.
If you use 70% chocolate like me I did not need to put sweetener but you can always add little honey or erythritol to give it a sweeter touch if you like it more.
It is very easy and obviously it is not a cake with travel, that is, you have to take it in the day because the texture changes a lot, but I loved the result so today I share it here.

Ingredients
- 150 g dark chocolate
- 4 eggs
Optional
- a pinch of salt
- A poc of your favorite sweetener
Directions
Grease a 15 cm mold and line it with baking paper greasing drumming the paper. Reserve. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees with the hot air function
Chop and melt the chocolate in the microwave at intervals of 30 seconds. I put it twice and although it was not melted at all, with the residual heat and moving with a spatula it finished melting.
Separate egg whites and yolks. Whip the egg whites with electric rods with a pinch of salt until they are firm (if you turn the bowl over they should be kept inside).
Then blanch the yolks: beat them until they are fluffy, have doubled their volume and are pale in color.
When the chocolate has cooled and is only warm, add it to the yolks and mix with a spatula with enveloping movements. You will notice that the mixture hardens a little but it is normal.
Now add the egg whites. We will do it three times, mixing each time with the spatula with bottom-up movements wrapping the mixture. When we have everything, we move on to the mold.
Put the mold inside a larger container and fill two fingers with stir. So we will bake it in a water bath. Bake for 40 minutes until the cake is curdled. Let cool in the oven.
Remove from the oven and when it is completely cold, unmold.
We can decorate with a little icing sugar, chopped chocolate and red fruits.

You say, mold of 15 cm and in the photo, at least it is 20 cm
Hi Javier,
Both the size of the mold that puts the recipe and the one that appears in the photo are 15 cm.
I gain nothing by cheating, quite the opposite.
If you go to the Instagram link and watch the video you can see the cake and it is 15 cm. No of 20. Greetings and thanks for writing.
I really want to do it, it looks splendid. Serve any dark chocolate ? Because I like 92%, but I understand that it would be very strong. I guess 70% is better. Thank you.
Hello Yolanda, indeed I would not use more than 70∞ and although I love dark chocolate here between 55% and 70∞ it is much better.
A hug and thank you very much for writing
Which oven do you program in and at what temperature?
Hi Alexandra, as the recipe indicates, the oven is preheated to 175 fados in hot air function and baked for 40 minutes.
A hug,
