Chocolate cake for breakfast
This flourless chocolate cake has been a favorite of ours for ages. The recipe was printed in Bon Appetit in April 2001. (We always use dark chocolate not semi-sweet, but don’t otherwise alter the recipe so we’ll just provide the link.)
We made this recently to take to a party and the host didn’t put out a serving utensil. (That’s in no way a complaint; the party was great. We also drank wine from the bottle, kidding!) People used the plastic forks to devour it piece by piece. Don’t worry no one double forked.
With two people in the house, we don’t often make a cake. But here are some great ones that are definitely high on our list.

Nice cake!
That looks a-MAY-zing. Pure decadent chocolatey goodness. I’d eat it with a plastic fork, too… probably more than one piece of it!
Thanks for the shout-out. I sure wish I had more excuses to make cake, but it’s too dangerous to have around, especially any of these that you listed! I’d happily send you two some but I don’t think it would survive the journey.
Yum! Thank you so much, I can’t wait to try some of these.
I’m surprised they used plastic forks . . . and didn’t just grab fistfuls to shove into their mouths! Yummy!
it looks awesome!!!
Thanks for the shout out! I’ll tell Lindsey!
Gorgeous.
Fun collection– YUM!!! 🙂
Thanks for the link, I’m flattered to be included in such a delicious-sounding list!
Not only am I chuffed to be included in this list, but I am also totally thrilled to have discovered that recipe for ginger stout cake–it sounds delicious and completely tempting.
Lots of lovely new cakes to check out! And sounds like a Spanish party with no serving utensil 🙂
This chocolate cake looks like it needs to be a staple in the home. Thanks for sharing the link to the other great little bakers in the blogging world. I can’t wait to meet them! Take care, BAM
Aw shucks. Thanks for the shout out! Hard to beat a great chocolate cake!
You really cannot go wrong just blindly picking any one of the cakes in your post. Thanks for sharing.
This is a great round up – any parties to come (or cravings) and I know where to look 😀
Thank you!
Cheers

Thanks for the wonderful shout out you guys :). But I will admit.. I am becoming more and more interested in that chocolate cake you served at the party lol
My goodness that picture is torture, a piece for me please
Thanks for the mention 🙂
Oh my gawd, that list is both intimidating and exhilarating.
If we were at a party with all these cakes, that is when you say, “a really thin slice of each, please.” 🙂
It is breakfast time here in Nashville and I want your cake!
This is nice to wake up to haha 🙂 Making me crave chocolate cake in the morning – looks great.
Can I come for five o’clock tea time 🙂 This is so beautiful, I loved it. Thank you dear Rufus, with my love, nia
i see a flourless chocolate cake in my future….
My favorite molten chocolate cake is also from Bon Appetit. Yum! Will check out these other to bookmark for our next chocolate indulgence.
I love cake and this looks great! Thanks for sharing the other recipes from other bloggers, can’t wait to go check them out!
I so did not need to see this post…
That is a serious chocolate cake, Greg, ONE POUND of chocolate? Wow. Gorgeous.
No serving utensil, that must have been a casual party.
That’s my kind of party!! Guess you’ll close friends 🙂 I so need to make this cake for an upcoming dinner party…I wonder now if I should bother with the forks….
Thanks for the mention, these are a great roundup of cakes!!
Great ideas for cakes – what a great resource – thanks for sharing!
Greg, your cake looks divine, and I love the plate it’s sitting on! How do you beat a good DARK chocolate (I so agree!) flourless cake? (Well, you probably don’t.) Thank you SO much for the kind mention of the orange almond cake! So S w e e t of you’s!
Now I’m off to check out the others! What a great list of great cakes!
Now were talkin’ … bring on the port, then find the cake to match it.
Are you SURE no one double forked? 😉
I love flourless choc cake – tonight I will try to bake a choc stout cake, the link you offered is tempting me, but my grad student (who provided me with his home made stout, asked me to use it in one specific cake he had in mind… gotta make the students happy, you know…..)
cross your fingers for me, normally when I bake a cake the world is never the same after
Well, maybe as the night wore on….
Let them eat cake! 🙂 Good stuff!
A simple chocolate cake is everyones favorite when it comes to desserts. Nice links.
it is an honor to be included in such a list as this! 🙂
Mmmm… cake…. your flourless cake looks divine! And the other cakes you shared sound great, too!!
Oooh, new things to bake! And I think the subsitution of dark chocolate for semi-sweet is perfect.
I’m definitely with you on using dark chocolate…enough with that light sweet stuff.
YES. I love when recipes call for a pound of chocolate. Looks great and yummy list!
Wow, this cake looks so moist, dense and delicious. I will have to try it sometime! Love your selection of cakes from around the blog world 🙂
cake for breakfast?? Yum!!!! It is hard to justify making a whole cake when there’s only two people to eat it…. So unfortunate!
Yay, flourless!! Looks yummy, will definitely be trying this one. 🙂
Do you guys add raspberry preserves to the cake? I thought I saw some reddish/seedy-type things near the top of the slice?
Nope, we sure didn’t. Sounds good though.
This would look worthy of making even if I were the ONLY one in the house!!! Yum!!!
BD (before diet) I made a chocolate cake once a week and we had a slice every night! It is a great indulgence 🙂
Great cake selection! Always good to have multiple cake recipes on hand!
If it’s chocolate, I like it and so does my family. Can’t wait to check out all these other cakes, too.
I believe I may have to try the flourless cake this weekend.
I cannot believe that it’s without flour! Looks delicious!
What a nice compilation of cakes!
I cannot believe I have never had this cake, will try it for sure now!
Soooo much to choose from. We definately need to wear sweet teeth.
