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.

It’s Friday and these cakes deserve a little Irish dance!

I have Guinness in the refrigerator right now. I’m ON this! Beautiful photos of a beautiful dessert!
Thanks Julie! Hope you like these!
Oh boy….those do look heavenly. I would love to have one right now!
I can’t wait to try this recipe. However, I’m confused about the 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided. I can only find a reference to using one teaspoon. I just want to make sure I make them right, because right now my mouth is watering. 🙂
Thank you for pointing this out! I fixed the recipe, but the lat teaspoon a vanilla is added at the end of mixing the batter (right after the butter is mixed in). Hope you enjoy these!
Wow! These look so yummy. I love anything flourless. The whipped cream topping looks awesome. Can’t wait to try these.
Have a great week,

Thanks so much for pinning!
This looks awesome! Will definitely have to give it a shot soon!
These look so amazing! I bet it’s impossible to have just one 🙂 Visiting from Flamingo Toes link up!
They look delicious. Had a question about the whipped cream. When and how do you add the melted chocolate to the cream mixture and is the drizzled chocolate on top of the cream that same melted chocolate and corn syrup, or do I melt additional chocolate for that? Thanks!
Once you have whipped the cream fold in the melted chocolate + corn syrup. For the drizzle you need to melt additional chocolate or you can use a little of the melted chocolate that you are using for the whipped cream. We like things with extra chocolate so I melted more chocolate to drizzle.
Okay, that looks like one fudgy delicious cupcake! Flourless anything is SO good. I love that frosting, can I bury my face in it please?
I know, the frosting is awesome! It goes perfectly with the rich chocolate!
These do sound heavenly!! Can you use soda instead of beer?
Thanks again for another great recipe!!!
sure! You could use soda or coffee would be great to!
Would any type of soda do or do you have a specific flavoring?
Maybe something dark like root beer
What type of soda would you suggest?
Anything dark. Maybe root beer.
