"Flourless cake"… and the first thing you do is put in some flour. i love it
Hey nice one john
Keep knocking out the crappola
Like all good con men the Mark's dont even know they are being ripped off
Fair play
Do you have a playlist that is diabetic friendly?
Is it really flourless if you sprinkle it in the pan? couldnt you use cocoa powder

😇😀🤩
I've never used coffee liqueur before. Would I find that in the baking aisle? Looking forward to making this for my Valentine! 😊
I love how guga gave you a shout out on Sous Vide Everything.
Love you both.
You could turn this lovely cake to almost keto by using erythrotol powdered sweetener!
YOU ARE MY HERO; (TOMATOE AND MOZZARELLA) LOL.CAN I MAKE THIS A WEEK IN ADVANCE?
YOU ARE SO FUNNY!!!!!
please move into my house and feed me
This is top tier Chef John content!
This weekend I made this 'Torta Caprese' a keto version with monk fruit sweetner, and boy oh boy, I have to tell you, it's already half gone in one day. The recipe couldn't have satisfied a chocoholic any better. So easy to make too. Thanks Chef John!
Awesome! Why not use cocoa powder on your parchment? I always hate that white powder on the bottom of a chocolate cake.
I'm here for the lllllllots of compliments
Woodglut is nice for that.
great video
How many grams is 10 tablespoons of butter? Please use metric measurements jesus
Nvm. I did the math on all the ingredients…I could be halfway done with baking by this point.
what differences from the chocolate decadence does this have? More chocolatey?
Tried it yesterday. Wonderful! Very tasty, drew raves from our guests. Thanks!
My OCD just won't let me cut into such a Beautifully Symmetrical Cake. Guess I'm loosin a few carb's Today !
What if I only got access to medium eggs??
Chef John! Making this this afternoon. The beating of the eggs took at least 20 minutes and started it while the chocolate and butter were melting. Prep time here in my kitchen was about double the written directions. Am sure we will love it like all your recipes but heads-up to those who take the time directions to heart.
Will this recipe get me llllllots of compliments??
Great video happy Valentine's!
Chunky, freshly ground almonds are the best;
Def. Going on my Passover dance card
Perfect! It’s Valentines Day 2023
I just put this cooled cake in the fridge to surprise my (chocolate) lover tonight. Chef John, no one in this world has helped me become a better, more competent cook and baker than you. I don’t know you, but you are a part of my daily life and I love you like a brother. I hope that you and Michelle have a wonderful Valentine’s. Enjoy!🎉
I made this yesterday for my partner and I to have for Valentine's Day dessert. It was excellent. I'm not big on changing recipes but I didn't have any chocolate liqueur, so I subbed 2 teaspoons espresso powder and 1 teaspoon vanilla. As for the topping, I covered it with a chocolate miroir glaze. Not exactly cake to try it on but it was impressive, if not perfect. Raspberries and vanilla ice cream and the food coma is complete. Thanks for a great recipe.
I made this and opted for a chocolate ganache rather than the powdered cocoa and sugar topping. It was so delish. My almond flour was more of a meal and should have been finer so I will pulse it next time. I think it will produce a silkier consistency. I decided not to put a 'heart on' my cake and made a coulis instead. 🤭
First attempt was a disaster. But I know what I did wrong. Will climb back on the horse.
Is that Buttercup's Favorite Chocolate
Recently made this: AMAZING!❤️❤️
This is VERY close to your chocolate decadence recipe. Just the coffee liquor and almond meal are different I think.
CJ, repeat after me-
The food isn’t messed up. I can stop myself. I am strong.
LMAO Chef John…No wonder we love you so much!!! A man with a fun sense of humor❣
Flourless torte step one add flour
What
Made this tonight for a dinner party and it was a huge hit! I got a jar of organic pitted dark red Marachino cherries and used those instead of raspberries, and used the juice in the jar to make a thickened cherry sauce. Also used chili flavored dark chocolate bars to melt. All this and whipped cream …. one of the best desserts of my life. Thank you Chef John!
You made me laugh so many times throughout!! Thank you
Just tried a slice of gluten free chocolate cake from a local bakery. It's so good. Hope chef John's method is easy enough to do at home
😂😂 this is my favorite Chef John video ever.
I wonder if it would be fluffier with some baking powder…
He is such a pleasure to listen to and his recipes never disappoints.
My whipcream became butter 😂
It started in Naples!
