The Best Flourless CHOCOLATE CAKE with Claire Saffitz | Dessert Person
What do you make for a group of people who love to eat but can’t have gluten or dairy? This Flourless Chocolate Wave Cake! It’s a rich-but-light-at-same-time cake made with almond flour, a dash of amaretto, lots of chocolate, and lightened with egg whites for a mousse texture. This cake might meet a number of dietary restrictions, but you’d never know from the taste.

    I feel like a huge opportunity was missed. Claire Facts should aaaaabsolutely be rebranded to “Claireifications”

    Not gonna lie, I solely bought Dessert Person because I enjoy your content and wanted to support you. It was supposed to be a coffee table book. But it was my daughter’s birthday and I thought, hell I can bake a cake from scratch. So I made Classic Birthday Cake and while it takes more effort than boxed cake the taste payoff is well worth it and so I don’t know if I can ever go back. So I hate you, I love you, thanks for the cookbook.

    I made this guy for a friend's birthday getaway where the only things I had to bake the cake were the things I took with me. I used frangelico instead of the rum/amaretto because I had a tiny travel bottle, plus split the almond flour with some hazelnut flour. Whisked the thing by hand. Worth it, though, to give one of my best friends a birthday cake.

    Claire's hair is like a lovely, dark chocolate batter with streaks of white meringue 😊
  • @Issor_Rossi
    My new hobby is looking behind claire and see if they're also doing another recipe that day
  • I've made this TWICE now and it's a HUGE hit every time. My brother who usually gets a cheesecake for his birthday requested this instead. It's the PERFECT cake!!!
  • @PreLives171
    Probably the best episode of Dessert Person, IMO. Claire's mention of mistakes and how to fix them were phenomenal., especially for an amateur baker like myself.

    So my chef told me a story of when he was in college, he had an English prof that absolutely hated him. He handed in an essay he really worked hard on, and for no good reason got a poor mark. The only feedback that was given by the prof was "there is something missing from this, it's as if you made a cake without flour." Chef gives the essay back to the prof for remarking, except he stapled a recipe for flourless cake onto the back. Needless to say he did not do well in that course 🤣
  • 8:13 “Lol... Meringue” annotation of the fail meringue video when claire was saying one of her favorite things do is folding meringue has the same energy as “Sure, Jan”
  • I've been looking for recipes for my mom ever since she stopped being able to have milk and gluten, thank you Claire 🥺💖
  • @laurenho52
    claire really said let me make the most delicious dessert that literally anyone can eat. what did we do to deserve her??
  • @mayarosales09
    FINALLY!!! This is my favorite recipe in Dessert Person so far, I've baked it 4 times already this year, I looooove Claire's recipe for this chocolate wave cake 😋
  • @alexinarose5344
    I'm here for my weekly boost of serotonin. The little eggy face and cuddles with Maya are just precious. Great video!
  • @ZappyCatPrime
    Just had a flashback to BA's Gourmet Makes, when Claire seemed so often miserable while trying to perfect her challenge food with sometimes diminishing returns. This is a way better vibe. Free range Claire!
  • Since getting my copy of Dessert Person 2 months ago, I've made this cake 3 times, it's always a crowd pleaser, everyone loves it, as do I! <3
  • So stoked for this video. The flourless choc cake has been the biggest hit of all the ones I've made so far.
  • @thewordshifter
    Thursdays are usually a gigantic ball of stress for me. Thanks Claire for a little escape every Thursday.
  • The little smiling egg yolk in the shell brought me so much joy, the editing on this episode is so good!!! 🙂
  • The faces on everything is such a cute touch! I love the happy little yolk.
