About Flourless Chocolate Cake
Fudge cake refers to a dense, single-layer chocolate cake served with or without icing. When made with more chocolate, the recipe is sometimes referred to as Death by Chocolate. It's similar to a brownie, but it's more moist and has more chocolate.
Flourless cakes are made without flour and can be baked or unbaked. They have a creamy or silky texture because they are made entirely of egg (usually whole eggs and/or egg yolks) with a lot of fat added from sources such as butter, cream cheese, cream, or sour cream.
