I didn't think this recipe was good at all. The serving size is so tiny, it makes about 3 mouthfuls of cake and the cake itself just tasted sweet, it did not have the deep chocolatey flavour I was looking for.
Flourless Chocolate Cakes
Oxmoor House
With rich chocolate flavor and a warm gooey filling, these hot-from-the-oven minicakes are the perfect indulgence at the end of a busy day. Many supermarkets stock ground pecans in the nuts section; if you can't find them already ground, chop pecan halves or pieces, and grind them in a food processor, minichopper, or spice grinder.

Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped pecans, ground
- 1 tablespoon warm water
- 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
- Cooking spray
- Powdered sugar (optional)
- Strawberries (optional)
Preparation
- 1. Preheat oven to 425°.
- 2. Separate egg, placing egg white and egg yolk in separate medium bowls. Add sugar and cocoa to egg yolk, stirring with a whisk. Add pecans, water, and chocolate, stirring with a whisk.
- 3. Beat egg white with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold half of egg white into egg yolk mixture; fold in remaining egg white. Spoon batter evenly into 4 (4-ounce) ramekins coated with cooking spray.

- Choice ingredient
- Cocoa powder is made from ground roasted cacao seeds that have had most of the fat removed. When you are using less real chocolate in light baking, incorporate some cocoa powder to deepen the chocolate flavor without adding a lot of extra fat.
