Touch-of-Crunch Chocolate Cake

When I told my husband what our next baking assignment for Tuesdays with Dorie he said, “I don’t think I can eat a cake made in a pie plate”. He was kidding of course. It is a chocolate month for us and this one more chocolaty than the last. This is a flourless chocolate cake made with butter, bittersweet chocolate, eggs and brown sugar. It is thickened with either a tablespoon of flour or two teaspoons of cornstarch. The crunch comes from your choice of black sesame seeds, poppy seeds or cocoa nibs; I went with back sesame seeds. My cake served at room temperature was pudding-like in the center. I ‘made’ my family eat the first piece of cake with whipped cream but I know that they will prefer vanilla ice cream for the rest.
