Flourless Chocolate Cake

Simplest chocolate cake I ever made.
And made with no flour at all in it.
Comes out nice and decadent tasting.
I serve this with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients:
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
3 large eggs
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
2 tablespoons cocoa powder for dusting

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Prepare a 9-inch round baking pan
by lining bottom and sides with
vegetable shortening and dust with
2 tablespoons of the cocoa powder.
Melt butter and chocolate chips in
a glass mixing bowl in the microwave.
I took me about 4 minutes on high.
Remove bowl and stir to mix well.
Stirring, until smooth.
Whisk in sugar, vanilla, salt and
coffee powder into chocolate mixture.
Add in eggs one at a time and whisk well.
Pour batter into prepared pan and
bake in middle of oven 25 minutes or so,
it'll pull away from the sides when done.
Remove to cool before icing if desired.
