{Gluten and Dairy Free} Flourless Cake

Jason at Bon Appetit made this great decadent cake and it's posted here at Epicurious.  It's flourless and naturally gluten free, but I made some changes to make it dairy free. It's known as the "black beast". If you haven't tried a flourless chocolate cake before, fasten your seat belt. You are in for a real treat.

  1. Cake
    • 1 cup water
    • 3/4 cup sugar
    • 9 tablespoons (1 stick plus 1 tablespoon) unsalted butter, diced (I would use Earth's Balance)
    • 18 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped (I would use Enjoy Life chocolate chips)
    • 6 large eggs
  2. Ganache
    • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (I would use coconut milk)
    • 8 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped (I would use Enjoy Life Chocolate chips)
    • Lightly sweetened whipped cream ( I would use coconut whipping cream. see below!) 
    • For Coconut Whipping Cream:
      Make the whipped cream. Refrigerate a can of coconut milk over night. Open the can, skim off the fat, and whip with 1 TBS of confectioners sugar.
