Čokoladni kolač bez brašna/Flourless Chocolate Cake

Please, scroll down for recipe in English

Kada sam prvi puta čula za kolač bez brašna, znala sam da će biti ukusan, no bilo mi je malo čudno kako će se isti uspjeti stisnuti. Onda sam prvi puta napravila Čokoladne muffine u koje ide samo 30 g brašna na cijelu smjesu otopljene čokolade i maslaca – onako topli tek iz pećnice bili su pravi gurmanski užitak (čitajte: utapanje u čokoladi).

Nedavno je Zocacro na Coolinarici objavila recept za Čokoladno-bademasti kolač bez brašna i instiktivno sam ga zabilježila kako bih ga napravila. Kolač se prilikom pečenja neće dignuti niti ispucati, no kada ga izvadite iz pećnice stvori se korica koja popuca ako ju stiskate rukama (kao ja koja nisam mogla dočekati da se kolač ohladi pa smo ga pojeli onako vrućeg dok se još topio u ustima).

Ovo je moja malo modificirana verzija originalnog recepta.

New bowls

Još vam moram reći da su moje toliko željene i toliko čekane zdjelice stigle čak iz dalekog NY! Dugo sam ih pikirala, a onda sam se napokon i odlučila na njihovu kupovinu. Najveći problem je bio što nemaju dostavu u Hrvatsku, a cijena poštarina i dvaju carina je koštala pravo malo bogatstvo za „obične“ porculanske zdjele. Ali sve mi se isplatilo kad sam ih dobila! Bila sam toliko sretna :) Još sam u iščekivanju treće :)

English version

When I first heard of a flourless cake, I knew it would be tasty, but it was a little strange to me, so I decided to try to make one. Recipe is adapted from: http://www.coolinarika.com/recept/cokoladno-bademasti-kolac-bez-brasna/, but I changed it a bit.

The big news in my culinary world are two little bowls, which I waited for so long (too long), but I finally got them!
