Flourless Chocolate Cake. Definitely going in the mainstay - tried and true - file of my recipe book.

Flourless Chocolate Cake instructions

Turn the oven to 350. Generously grease two 6" pans and set aside. Separate yolks and eggs into two bowls..
Whip the egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar in a mixer at a high speed until the meringue sticks to a spatula..
In another bowl, stir the egg yolks, sugar, coconut milk, and extracts until well mixed. You can add up to an extra 1/4 cup sugar if you want it sweeter. Put aside..
In a microwave safe bowl, melt your chocolate chips - approx 30 seconds to start and then in 10 second increments..
Add the melted chocolate chips a little at a time into the meringue, folding carefully into the meringue..
Add the yolk mixture in quarters to the chocolate meringue mixture. Be careful not to overmix..
Pour half of the batter into each cake pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes depending on your oven..
Test with a toothpick. When it comes out clean, it's done. Let it cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Go around the edge with a sharp knife to loosen the sides if you need to. Let it cool completely before removing from the pan. *it will sink in the center - it's normal*.
After it has cooled off, you can fill and top it with whatever you like. I filled mine with Nutella and topped it with whipped cream. Enjoy!.
