Flourless Chocolate Lime Cake – 无麸质巧克力蛋糕
I’ve tried Nigella Lawson’s recipes quite a number of times as I love her fabulous recipes that never failed me. So this time I chose this Flourless Chocolate Lime Cake to bake before the weekend. The cake was light and chocolately complemented by a light hint of lime and it was well received by my family even though the cake didn’t look pretty with the cracks on top. I didn’t make the margerita cream as stated because I didn’t have the double cream at that time. If you’re interested to make margerita cream, please head over to here to check the recipe in detail. Please take note to use a spring form cake tin for easy removal of the cake after chilled as it’s difficult to unmould the cake because of its crusty top, more so just after baked.
我很丑但我很柔软 😀

Ingredients
- 75g Dark chocolate, chopped (I used valrhorna chocolate 66%)

- 2tsp Cocoa powder, sifted
- zest of one large lime
- 1½ tbsp Lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C, line the base of a 20cm/8 inch springform cake tin and butter the sides.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together under low heat (do not boil), stir until chocolate melted and smooth, set aside.
- Beat the eggs and sugar together until about tripled in volume, pale and moussy.
- Mix the ground almonds with the cocoa powder and fold this gently into the egg and sugar mixture, followed by the melted chocolate. Finally, fold in the zest and juice of your lime.
- Pour and scrape this mixture into the prepared tin and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and sit the cake in its tin on a wire rack to cool, Then place the cake in the fridge together with the cake pan to chill for 1-2 hours to firm. Dust with icing sugar or snow powder before serving.
- 无麸质巧克力蛋糕
- 材料:
- 75克 黑巧克力,(可用甜苦巧克力)切碎
- 75克 软牛油
- 3个 全蛋 (约70克一个)
- 100克 白砂糖
- 50克 杏仁粉
- 2茶匙 可可粉,过筛
- 1粒 酸柑皮屑
- 1 1/2 汤酸柑汁
- 做法:
- 预热烤箱至180度。用活动8寸圆模,底层铺纸旁边涂牛油。
- 用小火把黑巧克力和牛油一起融化搅至滑 (不要煮滚),备用。
- 将鸡蛋和白糖打至约三倍大。
- 把杏仁粉和可可粉一起搅匀,然后轻轻的拌入蛋糊,接着倒入融化的巧克力,酸柑皮屑和酸柑汁,用橡皮刮刀搅拌均匀的巧克力面糊倒入烤盘。
- 送入烤箱烤约25分钟。
- 从烤箱取出蛋糕,蛋糕连模待凉。然后送入冰箱冷却1-2小时后才脱模。这样可避免表层裂开的更厉害。
- 切蛋糕前可撒些防潮糖粉或糖粉做装饰。
- 今天的食谱来自於大名鼎鼎的Nigella Lawson。很喜欢她的食谱,简单明了容易做,失败率比较低,从来没让我失望过。这巧克力蛋糕是因为没加面粉,所以做出的蛋糕肯定会塌陷。外表丑丑的蛋糕但非常柔软细腻;而且巧克力蛋糕里带有淡淡的青柠清香味,会让你不知不觉多吃几口。

Hi Zoe, Is so easy to bake flourless cake and I've already bookmarked more to bake soon… hahaa
Hi Ann, I agree with Li Shuan. The cake looks soft & moist, a little bit of crack will certainly not going to stop me from eating, hehe.
Very interesting combination of flavors! I wouldn't have thought of pairing lime and chocolate together..
Ann, I like the rustic looks of this cake, is hard to imaging it is flour less! The combo of chocolate and lime is perfect!
很有rustic feel 。。应该是很美也很好吃
That's how a flourless chocolate cake should look, Ann. I like it with a crackle topping which reminds me of French chocolate cake.
Ann, this cake epitomize beauty in it's imperfection – in spite of the cracks, it is still a beauty! I have not tried a chocolate lime combination and am trying to imagine what it is like. I am sure I would love it!
Phong Hong, This cake is moist and delicious. Have a trt 🙂
