1
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2
Mix in Sugar and Eggs
Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, stir in the sugar until well combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
3
Prepare Baking Pan
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
4
Pour Batter and Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly soft.
5
Cool the Cake
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, invert it onto a serving plate and remove the parchment paper. Allow it to cool completely.

6
Prepare Strawberries
Wash the fresh strawberries and remove the stems. Cut them in half if they are large. Arrange them on a plate.
7
Whip Cream
In a mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form.
8
Serve
Slice the cooled flourless chocolate cake and serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a few strawberries on top. Enjoy!
