flourless cake
Baked without wheat
A flourless cake is a cake made without wheat flour, relying instead on ingredients like ground nuts, chocolate, or eggs for structure.
Flourless chocolate cake is the most common variety—dense, fudgy, and rich.
These cakes appeal to those avoiding gluten or simply preferring a denser texture: The flourless chocolate cake was almost like a truffle.
