I shared your green tomato pie recipe with my gardening channel, Glen. Great use for end of season produce.

[@rogerrabt]

Hey Glen, at 6:25 you said "a tablespoon or tablespoon and a half" for don't like coffee and the same for do like coffee. Did you mean teaspoon on the first one?

[@Spuddler]

Hi Glen, love your videos. For some sticklers out there, I thought I'd let you know when you're mentioning the addition of coffee (around 6:25), you suggest adding 1 - 1.5 tbsp for people who don't like coffee, but then say the same for those that do like coffee. I'm assuming you meant 'teaspoons' for those that don't like coffee? Thanks for all the entertaining content!

I swear people don’t give the channel a go, or get one of the more awkward/mid series videos. These videos are so important to us here that we basically watch them religiously. I often determine what I cook that week based on what Glen has made.

Wow, copper bowls are expensive...a very thoughtful gift.

[@TamarLitvot]

This is not just for gluten free people. You’ve given me the recipe I’m going to use if we’re able to get together with our daughters this spring for Passover! This is simpler than the last time I tried a flourless chocolate cake (which had ground almonds and other ingredients), and it looks delicious. Thank you!

[@murlthomas2243]

This reminds me of “Better than Brownies”, only completely flourless. Simpler, too. Thanks to the sender of the copper bowl!

[@BloodSprite-tan]

it could be brownies I think the main different is the lack of density because of the egg foam is fairly high humidity.

[@joelegue182]

Now all we need is a 10 hour whisking video as a companion to the loooooong stir video.

[@MamaStyles]

I dated a man whos mother would make a flourless choc cake at passover...and I fell in love with it.Some whipped cream and fresh raspberries compliment the cake so well but on its own its superb. I have four teenagers who dont really like cake(I know they must be the mailmans kids) and Im single or Id make a cake like this...sadly Id be the only one to eat it. So i indulge whenever I see it on a restaurant menu. The bowl is JUST gorgeous too.

[@TamarLitvot]

I just commented about how perfect this is for Passover!

[@tristanrl1940]

@@TamarLitvot except this recipe has butter unless your Passover is not including meat

[@exchangestudent2]

You could freeze the cake in pieces.

[@michaelreid8857]

Your the only one who would eat it. And please explain to me, why that could possibly be either a problem, or even an issue?

[@redrackham6812]

@@tristanrl1940 You don't need to have it at the seder. You could have it at hol hamoed. Or, if you want a parve version, use some other fat to substitute for the butter. Cocoa butter has a melting point very close to regular butter's, and a relatively similar fatty acid composition (the main difference is that there is almost no myristic acid in cocoa butter) so it would probably work fine here.

[@anounimouse]

This cake recipe - plus all of the KZbin sites featuring Asian manufactured cakes - TOTALLY disproves that old adage about not allowing even a speck of egg yolk into whites to be whipped. Thank You, Glen!

My favorite thing about Glen is that he is not at all a kitchen/cooking elitist. He doesnt say you have to do things a certain way 100% of the time to do it right. This has become my favorite cooking show on the internet.

Instead of instant coffee, you can also use coffee liqueur. I've made it with and without, and the coffee really added a richer flavor to the chocolate.

so happy to see the little kitty tail flitting past .. a true kitchen.. lol

[@wakemiamigreatagain]

I've made a flourless chocolate cake that is very similar to this for many years. The biggest difference is that it does not call for any added sugar. I use bittersweet chocolate that has some sugar already. Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate chips work well. Look up Rose Levy Beranbaum's Chocolate Oblivion Truffle Torte. There is some technique to making these cakes but it is well worth it.

[@christenagervais7303]

I really love these gluten free recipes! I am gluten intolerant and I love your recipes!

[@meganpopple9100]

I think it would be amazing if stand mixers had a copper bowl as an “extra”!

[@honthirty_]

The copper bowl IS available on Etsy but is about $250 USD.

[@mickeymaus1]

Used my Kenwood chef elite - worked pretty well. And the metal bowl is slightly cold during mixing, I guess that is a secret behind it.

[@julilla1]

This looks amazing! I should not have watched this while intermittent fasting!

[@danam.8709]

Have a copper bowl insert for my Kitchen Aide 6qt. A personal indulgence after a very failed shoulder surgery. Really does do a nice job of 'volumizing' and 'tenderizing' my egg whites.

[@jackieaubrey4599]

That bowl is beautiful! Nigella Lawson has a Chocolate Cloud Cake (originally a Richard Sax recipe) which is lighter - yet still deeply rich and chocolatey. It collapses in the centre as it cools - handy for dollops of whipped cream and a scatter of raspberries - or whatever.

[@LindaM2005]

For a little different flavour, I like to use some brown sugar for part of the white sugar, or even substitute it completely. That copper bowl was a very generous gift.

[@susandickerson2663]

I was watching, thinking, 'I wonder if Monk fruit brown sugar would work?' Hmmm.

[@IQTech61]

I have discovered that Allulose can be safely used in place of sugar. I've been looking for a keto friendly chocolate dessert and this one fills the bill very nicely. Thank you so much, Glenn.

[@historiansrevolt4333]

This is almost like Alton Brown and Mrs. Crocombe got together to make a video. Definitely saving this one for gluten free visitors and low flour days.

[@reneemarais431]

Been cooking gluten free more than 20 years due to husband being a coeliac. Made a Malva Pudding for him today. Much easier these days as gluten free is a choice for many people. A typical South African (Afrikaans ) sweet dating back to the Groot Trek and can be done on a fire. If you are interested I can post a version original recipe for you.

[@krithikarajaraman]

Can you share the link or recipe for the pudding that you use?

[@MsStarSwordPlays]

That’s really cool! We’ve been trying to convert some of my fiancé’s Greek family recipes into gluten free versions and even a decade ago some of them wouldn’t be possible to do gluten free without all of the amazing things available these days.

[@lizeggar2421]

Saffer living in the UK here. I look forward to seeing your gluten free Malva pudding recipe! One of my favourite puddings. Oprah tasted it at the Gramadulas Restaurant in Joburg on one of her visits. She liked it so much, she asked for the recipe so that her chef could make it for her. (She actually had him make it on one of her shows, about 10 or 15 years ago.)

Some people are turned off by the flourless chocolate cake. The first time I had it was after a wonderful meal .....long ago...it was my birthday and out it came with the most wonderful chocolate sauce over it...so good. I'm hooked.

Amazing recipe, can’t wait to try it, but I was hanging out for a closeup and was disappointed! I’ll have to watch again tomorrow on my TV and peek in for a closer look

[@andrewd.6538]

I like how you left some of the batter in the bowl for "quality control". Always good to test and taste as you go.

[@BrLambert]

I always wonder what my great grandmas arms looked like because I know she whipped her egg whites like that. Looks like a keeper and I want to try it, thanks.

[@FlorentPlacide]

For the New Year's Eve I made a layered spongecake (génoise) but didn't have a hand mixer. I resorted to beating the egg manually and, past the uncomfortable feeling in the arm for the first minutes, it was amazing to see the mixture rise and become smooth and light. I think I'll keep beating some things manually. And I wish I had this wonderful bowl. Thanks Glen ! :)

[@ubombogirl]

👍👍 YES! this is my fave brownie right here...i have been gf for years and this is awesome...i actually add a bit of cocoa powder to it as well as a little splash of vanilla. everybody loves when i make this! 😋

[@lordhypnos8360]

I make a very similar cake and just call it brownies because the texture is just pure, fudgey goodness. Also, there is something just extra beautiful about copper cookware and utensils.

[@marthalucas1221]

@Glen And Friends Cooking. Thanks so much for this video. I have made a flourless chocolate cake/torte for decades but will try your “melting sugar” tip. And my recipe calls for whipping egg whites separately, so will try the whole egg whip (with stand mixed and no gorgeous copper pot!). Kudos!

[@NorbertFuto]

Fantastic recipe, since I cook on induction I just melt chocolate in the pan on top of the hob as I can set the proper temperature with it.

[@smck9798]

Always amazing the different paths to the same recipe. I've done this recipe with and without almond flour and now I've seen you do it with whole eggs rather than splitting them which makes it even easier. The cooking method is interesting as well, I haven't used water in the oven so really interesting to see if it makes a difference next time I make this.

[@NoZenith]

Mmmmmmmmmmm!

[@flammablewater1755]

Well I know what I'm making this weekend.

[@jasonwebster3714]

Glen did you realize that when you were talking about adding the instant coffee you said that you don’t like the flavor of coffee so you would only add about a tablespoon to a tablespoon and a half but if you liked the coffee flavor you would add a tablespoon or a tablespoon and a half… so I’m confused did you mean the first time a teaspoon and then a tablespoon?

[@zaynamoore]

I caught that too and figure that yes, that's what he meant. But he'll probably answer you. :D

[@laboulesdebleu8335]

Yeah, I had to rewind & listen again to that part. Wasn't sure if he'd meant tsp, then tbsp, or if he meant another tbsp for those who like coffee. At any rate, I love how instant coffee ramps up the chocolate & can't help but think a tiny splash of vanilla would help to round off the rough edges of the bitterness of both.

[@pamelaspooner8335]

Does this mean liquid instant coffee (a portion of drinking coffee) or the powder that we call instant coffee?

[@IsaacIsaacIsaacson]

@@pamelaspooner8335 Usually it means the powder brewed up with hot water

[@graceadeline1990]

I think he meant a teaspoon if you don’t like coffee. A tablespoon would definitely be noticeable.

[@ghc7400]

I would pair it with a good quality vanilla ice cream

[@HareshE]

[@SirBusk]

I made this yesterday, I think I had the cake too high up in the oven because the top became burnt after only 40 minutes. But what a result, such an incredibly intense chocolate flavor! Even the burnt top tasted just fine.

[@formercanadiancitizen4756]

Hey Glenn, just curious to know if you’ve spent any time cooking with Patricia Wells book Bistro Cooking? Funny little story, years and years back I attended the Stratford Chef school, first year only, I was struck by the familiarity of allot of the recipes, went back home on a brake and was thumbing through my old copy of Bistro Cooking and what do ya know, recipes were word for word, my word, lol! Anyway Glenn, reason I bring that book up, other than how amazing it is, is that it’s the book that introduced me to the French flourless chocolate cake and I’d memory serves me correctly it she had several versions of that cake from recipes she collected throughout France from chefs and their Bistro’s.

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

So the Stratford Chef School was using Patricia's recipes as part of the curriculum? Not really all that uncommon, there are only so many ways to make most things, and only so many ways to write up a recipe. I'll have to look up her book, I've never come across it.

[@susandickerson2663]

How interesting!!

[@tristanrl1940]

Yes - yours is far superior to any brownie recipe which to me always tastes a bit cake(ish) regardless of scant flour inclusions in recipes. A teaspoon of Dutch processed cocoa is always nice - I also occasionally add a shot of kirsch. Personal fondness of cherries and chocolate pairing You two are great fun to watch - lovely . Happy New Year.

[@michaelreid8857]

I just made a Brownie recipient I found on Pinterest. Titled better than a boyfriend brownie. Here’s the recipe as I remember it 1C Butter creamed with 3/4C each wh. Sugar and Ben Sugar 4 eggs. 1C Cocoa Powder 1 1/2C ch. chips Don’t over cook it and you won’t taste flour. Very gooey!
