Flourless Chocolate Cake with Nutella Frosting and crushed Pistachios. A rich and decadent brownie like cake. This simple recipe takes just 4 ingredients to make the cake portion and two additional ingredients for the topping.

If you love the rich fudgy interior of brownies, you’ll adore this flourless chocolate cake. I’m betting you won’t even miss the flour.

4 simple ingredients – that are probably already in your pantry and refrigerator, are all you need to whip up this decadent cake. You read that correctly, FOUR ingredients: chocolate chips, butter, eggs and sugar. All mixed together to make a decadent cake that will satisfy your chocolate cravings in about an hour time.

Nutella and pistachios round out the list to garnish the cake with. We are self-professed Nutella-holics BUT if that’s not your cup of tea, you can opt for a dusting of powdered sugar, ganache or even a dollop of whipped cream.

Not a pistachio fan? No problem, leave them off or substitute crushed hazelnuts which pair nicely with the Nutella frosting.

To frost the cake, we melt Nutella in the microwave (in a microwave safe bowl). Once it’s to the desired consistency we use an offset spatula and circle it around the top of the cake.

TIP: IF the Nutella isn’t melting to a spreadable consistency, simply add a teaspoon or two of coconut oil when melting to help it along.

NOTE: When the cake comes from the oven the top may have a cracked exterior. This is normal. I happen to love the texture that the crunchy top gives while giving way to the soft fudge like interior.

This flourless chocolate cake can be served warm or room temperature.
