Singer Ingrid Michaelson has found the cake of her dreams
I’m a chocoholic. A few years ago, I had a flourless chocolate soufflé cake at a restaurant and
thought, This is the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my entire life.
I went home and found a similar recipe online. It looked easy, but when I made it for a party it
came out of the oven a brown, sunken-in, not-very-appetizing thing. Everyone else brought
along beautiful frosted cakes and fancy desserts—and there sat my lump of brown nothingness.
But once people tried it, it was gone in seconds.
Since then, I’ve made one every single year. And each time someone says, “Okay, what’s this?”
and then, “Oh my God! What is this?”
Flourless Chocolate Cake
“This is so easy! It’s always the biggest hit at parties.”
Servings: 12

Ingrid's Tips:
“To make individual servings, substitute nine ramekins orsmall oven-safe coffee cups and bake 30 minutes.””You’ll need a good 10-speed mixer to beat the eggwhites into nice stiff peaks that will make the cake lightand fluffy—unlike my first attempt, when I used a veryold mixer.”
