I made this cake for a friend's birthday last week and it was spectacular. Not a crumb left. I used Lindt 70% cacao ($2.48 a bar at Wal-Mart! and, like one of the other reviewers, substituted 2 T. espresso and 1 t. vanilla for the Cointreau in the cake and topping respectively. I did let mine bake the full 45 minutes, though I checked at 35 and 40 ... I didn't want anything gooey in the middle. I also used grated leftover Lindt instead of the cocoa powder for the "garnish."
Anyway, it was the perfect combination of feathery lightness and chocolate oomph. Not too sweet, either; all in all it was the best thing I've ever eaten, though I didn't get much -- I had to give my slice to the birthday girl after someone ate hers off her plate! I'll be making this one again. :

This was incredible; restaurant quality! Because I am not a fan of the orange/chocolate combo, I replaced orange liquer with leftover coffee and orange zest with vanilla extract. I also added a pinch of salt. The coffee, vanilla and salt really enhance the depth of the chocolate. Mt favorite bakery in Brooklyn makes Cocolate Cloud Cookies, and this is just as great : Thank Nigella!

Delicious cake! It wasn't anything like a normal flourless cake which is usually dense and fugde-like. This was light and had rich chocolate flavor. I didnt use the orange flavors since I dont really like it, but I used Chambord liqueur (rasberryin the cake and in the whipped cream and it was magnificent. Plus it was incredibly easy to make. I will be adding this to my favorite recipes.

I like you Nigella but this cake is not for me. It is to strong on chocolate flavor, it is to sweet or to something else and is not that cloudy to me. Well, people who love chocolate probably will like it. I will try diffrent cake recipe from you. pa

I do agree this cake will satisfy taste for chocolate for a long time; very easy to make. I was not happy by the resolts. The cake was to sweet, to srong on chocolate taste and was not that cloudy.

After reading the reviews, I used dark Belgian chocolate instead of bittersweet, and that turned out to be a perfect substitute! I also used coconut rum instead of orange liqueur because I'm not wild about the chocolate/orange taste combination. I baked it for 25 minutes, then turned the oven off and left it in for another 5 minutes, and that worked well. Finally, I topped it with Bobby Flay's coconut butter cream frosting. It practically disappeared overnight! I will definitely make this recipe again -- a real keeper!

This was indeed a crowd pleaser. Its not too sweet and it makes a beautiful serving. Its also very easy to make.
I ended up using 10.5oz of chocolate instead of 9 and also slightly buttered the sides of the springform pan.
