Chili-Kissed Klad Kakka

I recently tried a flourless chocolate-chili cake that was not a hit in my household. One said it was too greasy. One said that it tasted under-cooked. And the third, if you know my boys, you can guess which, wouldn't even deign to try it. Critics, all!

But I was craving something chocolatey and decided to adapt my Klad Kakka to have a kiss of heat in the form of cayenne. Success!

Ingredients

2 eggs
1 C organic granulated sugar
6 T unsweetened cocoa powder + more for serving
1 C gluten-free flour
1/2 C butter, melted
1/2 t pure almond extract
dash of cayenne (a little goes a long way)
Also needed: parchment paper

Procedure

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Whisk eggs and sugar together in a large mixing bowl. Fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and almond extract. Add a dash of cayenne. Pour in the butter and stir until smooth with a spatula.

Transfer the mixture into a parchment-lined baking dish. Smooth the top and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes; the cake should just be set on top and sticky inside. Let the cake cool before slicing. Dust with more cocoa powder and more cayenne, if you like.

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.
