Flourless cakes are the bomb.
And no, I am not going all no carb on you.
Trust me that could never happen at our house. I am pretty sure we consume a whole loaf of whole grain bread every morning. Oh, and then there’s Kai and his bagels. The kid loves bagels. There are definitely days when he eat Einstein’s sesame seed bagels for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
No, I am not kidding.
But really, who knew that flourless cakes (cakes, cupcakes, whatever) could be so, well heavenly?
Yeah, I said heavenly.
It is the perfect word for these.
Ok, wait. I know I say this about lots of things all the time, but I truly mean it, I do. But these, these are a chocolate lovers dream.
How do I know?
I sent one my mom’s way. The ultimate chocoholic. Remember, she drinks hot chocolate for breakfasts instead of coffee (except she drinks it by the half-gallon).
Actually, she sort of just stole one. I had asked her to help me with a shot I wanted to get that needed four hands, not just two. I was explaining to her what I wanted to achieve and I look over and she’s got one is her mouth. Full on, cake in her face. Whipped cream on her nose and a look in her eyes that could only mean one thing.
She swallowed and said “Those are heavenly.” In a slow calm voice, that made you know she meant it. Really meant it. And that is why I love to cook. Reactions like that. They make my day.
They are pretty simple. Basically just eggs, chocolate, beer (Yup! Beer!), butter and some more chocolate. The chocolate swirled whipped cream is the perfect complement to the rich chocolate cake. It’s so good.

Tieghan, you list in the ingredients
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter. I am using Kerrygold butter which comes in an 8 oz block. How many ounces of butter would I need, 10 oz (20 Tbsp)?
Hi Janet,
Each stick of butter contains 4 ounces, so you would need 10 ounces. I hope you love this recipe! xx
These are amazing! Not too sweet, and so delicious! My family loved them! Will definitely make them again. (I added a bit of cinnamon to the recipe – but I love cinnamon and chocolate!) Thanks! (Oh, and I fell in love with 3/4 of a can of leftover stout beer! Bonus!)
Thank you Catherine! xTieghan
Can I use the microwave for all the double boiler steps? Starting this today and just realized I don’t have the right pot
Yes! A microwave will work great. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
I wonder if the beer acted as a rising agent. at any rate looks very tasty.
These look delicious! How far in advance can the various parts be made & how should it be stored? I’d obviously assemble it right before serving :).
Hi! You can make the cakes a day in advance, that works great!! Hope you love the cakes and let me know if you have any other questions!
Tieghan!
Can these (flourless chocolate stout cakes) be made a day in advance? Should they be stored in the fridge or in an air tight container on the counter?
Hey there! Thanks for this wonderful recipe. I will be making these into a cake. What size of cake pan and baking time would you suggest pls? Cheers and keep the good recipes coming!
Hmm… I would suggest a normal 8 inch pan and as for the time I am not sure, maybe 30 minutes. You are going to just have to keep checking.
Thank you so much and I hope you love these!!
These look and sound absolutely heavenly!!
Great for Passover which is next week
