Being a food blogger has lead to some amazing friendships. It’s really not surprising. Food brings people together. No matter what your politics, your religion, your other beliefs, most people can agree on good food.

This is especially true of the food blogging community. It doesn’t matter if you are a sweets blogger, a healthy food blogger, vegan or paleo, it’s still all food. I’ve met so many amazing people along this journey. One of those people is Lori Lange. Not only is her site Recipegirl amazing but she’s also got a cookbook with many of her favorite recipes.

I can’t tell you how thrilled I was when Lori offered to send me a copy of her cookbook-The Recipe Girl Cookbook
. It’s been on my wishlist forever!  You can tell by all the tabs, There are so many recipes I want to make!

RecipeGirl Cookbook

Each chapter is broken down into a meal time. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Sweet treats, there’s even a Happy Hour Section.  I’m looking for a reason to make the Blueberry-Pineapple Tequila Punch!  Lori offers not only the basic recipe but great ideas to change it up along with complementary serving suggestions. At the back of the book, she even has party planning ideas with complete menus to ensure your guests will leave raving over the food!

So far I’ve made her Lemon and Herb-Marinated Grilled Chicken, the kids couldn’t get enough of it. I grilled it on my George Forman Grill soooo good!  And I’ve made this Flourless Chocolate Cake. So easy to make, So gorgeous on the plate and OMG! melt in your mouth, squeeze your sides like the cartoon dog, good!

Still on my list of must make recipes from Lori are her Bacon and Corn Griddle pancakes, New England Clam Chowder, Root Beer Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Gorgonzola Mashed Potatoes, Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf with Brown Sugar Glaze, Shrimp Tacos with Chipotle Cream, Irish Cream Brownies with Brown Butter Icing, Caramel Apple Pie Crust Cookies, Shirley Temple Ice Cream Sodas…

I could go on and name every recipe in the book!

Flourless Chocolate Cake

Flourless Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs

for the ganache

  • 1/3 cup whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Spray an 8 inch round cake pan and line bottom with parchment paper.
  2. for the cake-in a medium bowl, microwave chocolate chips and butter for 1 minute. Remove from microwave and stir until chips are completely melted and chocolate is smooth. If necessary microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Using a wire whisk, stir in sugar and eggs, making sure to blend completely.
  3. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes. You should have a crust on the top, like a brownie. Let cake cool in pan for 20-30 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of pan to loosen edge, then turn cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. For ganache-place chips in a small heat proof bowl. In another small bowl, microwave cream for 30 seconds on high, until almost boiling. Pour heated cream over chips and let rest for a minute before stirring. Continue to stir until chips are completely melted and chocolate is smooth.
  5. Drizzle ganache over entire cake or each slice as you serve.

    That’s a tough one, Joan. I l ove all the meals of the day (cause I love to eat). I have to say breakfast though. It’s such a luxury to sit down and enjoy a big breakfast. This cake looks amazing!

  14. Sarina Coffin says

    Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe! I love chocolate and the thought of ganache on top of brownies sounds like the perfect topping to me!! I am an evening snack person more then a meal loving gal. I love to sit with a hot cup of tea after the 6 kids are in bed and just relaxing with my laptop and a tasty treat. Chocolate has stolen my heart! 🙂

  20. Liz says

    No vanilla??
    Have this in the oven right now!

    Favorite meal is breakfast. Full blown, cook all morning type. Yeast waffles with maple syrup, bacon, hashbrowns, big glass of ice cold milk and hot cup of java.

  120. DC Tropics says

    Just made this flourless chocolate “cake” and while it was tasty, it was nothing like a cake. More like a dense pudding. I followed the recipe to the letter, even gave it the longer baking time suggested in the recipe, but suspect it could have used 5-10 more minutes. Good with vanilla ice cream.

  121. Julia says

    Greetings from Germany!

    I have tried this recipe several times, topped it with whipped cream and berries and everybody loved it. Only problem is you can never eat more than one piece at a time.

  122. Diana Teague says

    Made the Flourless Chocolate Cake today and I must say this is the BEST cake I have ever had… It was also the easiest cake I have ever made…. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

  123. Jennelle says

    Thank you for sharing this recipe! We are a “new” gluten free family and now I have a fun new cake to make with my son. We love to bake together and finding recipes like this make it easier for us to still enjoy good desserts!

    • Joan Hayes says

      You’re very welcome. I love that you’ve got your son in the kitchen with you, baking memories and teaching him about cooking/baking at the same time.

  126. sarah says
