This is a fantastic recipe-My family loves it!

Is this cake fudgy?

Can’t wait to try this
I watch your episode with you and Danny’s anniversary

The food looked great and this cake looked so desirable

Thank you for your show, I do enjoy watching it and your family grow up

I am very excited to make this dessert for my family for our Easter meal. I’ve always looked for a special
flourless cake recipe and finally found one as I watched your program this last Saturday. It is one of my
very favorite cooking shows because of your passion for the food, the people, your own family and sharing
the tips and hints with all of us who are at different levels of cooking and baking. I learn so much and
feel less fearful of making mistakes because of you!
Thank you, phylli this is my nickname and I love it cause my friends gave it to me.
Blessings to you and your family.

I am not a baker but I made this and love it. I have made a few times and like it more each time. Thanks. Also, I wish my wife spoke to me the way you speak to Dani.

This will be amazing for Passover!

I confirm that this cake is everything it promises to be. I added chopped rum soaked prunes. I’m about to make another with chopped Luxardo cherries for a GF black forest riff for a GF friend. It’s just the best thing. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Would this cake work if I used almonds…my daughter is allergic to all nuts except almonds

I really want to try this cake. It sounds so easy. My friend saw your show and told me about the recipe.

Hi Pati,

I cut the recipe in half and used a smaller loaf pan. I also used 100% dark Ghiradelli since we like darker chocolates. It came out so tasty! I’m not a baker so I’m always nervous when trying a new baking recipe. I’m much more confident with making adjustments when cooking. Thank you for this tasty and easy recipe.

We love your show! You have such a warm personality and friendly teaching style. When you’re on location interacting with locals, your friendliness really shines through. It’s been fun seeing your kids grow over the years.

Hecho esto hoy. Tan fácil, ¡tan delicioso!

Excellent
Made it today
Moist and smooth inside but mine did not crack

One of the best yet easiest chocolate cakes ever! Thanks, Pati!

I made this cake recently and now it is my new favorite chocolate cake! Great flavor and texture with minimal effort. I particular liked your suggestion to serve it with fresh fruit.

Can this cake also be made in a food processor without changing the texture? (My blender is broken!)

My sister in law is diabetic , suggestions for sugar free version

Pati!! Eres de maravilla….me encantan tus programas…a mi esposo también..prepare el filte de tilapia. y el cocktel de Camarón…el flourless cake…MMM..ojala y sigas teneniendo éxito..para Seguir viendo tus programas…MIL GRACIAS!!

Hi Pati,
Love this cake and have been making it for years. I have to substitute butter (unfortunately) and use coconut oil. Would you recommend another substitution? Also, I reduce the sugar by 1/2, and wonder if that alters the structure of the cake, because it comes out rather short. Any ideas on that? It’s still delicious!!

I cannot wait to make this for Easter😁. Thank you so much! Love ❤️ that it is flourless

I honestly cannot wait to try this recipe!!

Delicious delicious “Chocolate Pecan Cake”
Easy to make. Everyone loves it

Oh my Goodness ! This recipe is phenomenal the minute I saw you put it together , I knew I must try it super simple and stunning ! Seriously it doesn’t get easier than blending a cake mix before baking ! Pati you are amazing Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion for Food with us 💕 Once baked the cake was a true beauty to look at Inused parchment paper to bake in a glass Pyrex turned out fab , everyone gave it two thumbs up 💕

Would it be good for a diabetic? I made it before with only 1/4 cup of sugar. Just as good. Thanks for the recipe.
We all love watching your show. You have such a bubbly personality and it is catching! Thanks!

I made this yesterday for the Jewish holiday of Passover and brought it to our seder dinner – we aren’t supposed to eat bread. It was a big hit with everyone. Thanks for sharing your family recipe.

Hi Pati, love your show. I am married to a Mexican but I am not. Mexican food has always been my favorite food. When I was a little girl I would always choose tacos for my birthday dinner. My mom was an excellent southern cook & would kind of cringe when I requested them. She was a good sport though & would fry corn tortillas until I got my fill. I usually ate about 6 as I had a very hearty appetite! Plus more for my dad, sister & herself. They were just ground beef tacos but they were delicious! In my 40 years of marriage I have made many different Mexican dishes, including tacos, of course! Your show has inspired me to try even more different types of meals. I really want to make this cake, but was wondering if it has to be baked in a springform pan? Thanks Pati.

P.S. I love when you cook with your son’s. I have 2 boys & they both are really good cooks. My younger son is a vegetarian & he is very creative in the kitchen.

Now I understand why your husband wanted to eat the whole cake 😀 So easy to make yet so delicious!!!

Hi Patti, I am a huge fan of yours. I love ur style of cooking. Can you please tell me the substitute for Egg in this recipe?? I am a vegetarian from India. Thanks in advance. Looking forward for your reply.

I made this today and it is amazing! Sprinkled it with powdered sugar and put a few raspberries on top! My husband is gluten free and there aren’t many desserts he can eat but he loved this one! Great and simple recipe!

Hola Patti – Love the cake! It was easy to make and gluten free as well. A winner in my book.
We will be making this cake for the Jewish holiday of Passover as there is no leavening in it.
Thank you and have a great New year.

Thank you. This is so good and perfect for those who can’t have gluten. If you use Splenda instead of sugar, it’s even low-carb. Fantastic!!!! Thank you, so much.

Hola Pati♡ I can’t wait to make this cake. However I do have a few questions do I have to use a springform pan? Also could wax paper be used? And lastly do you have a recipe for ropa Vieja I’m Cuban and that’s one recipe that my grandmother never shared with me before she passed away. I really enjoy your show cooking is one of my passions thank you for responding God bless Happy Thanksgiving

I made this cake this afternoon. Really easy, and REALLY good. I have, however, converted ALL my recipes to metric. All the dry ingredients in one bowl and all the liquid in another. Weighing in grams is much easier and more accurate. I can remember trying to dig all the shortening out of a measuring cup, but never again. For instance, this recipe calls for 1/4 cup butter which translates into 57 grams. 6 ounces of chocolates converts to 70 grams. I put a pyrex glass bowl on the scale, add the chocolate, zero the scale and weigh the butter, put the bowl over simmering water and stir the 2 together. The pecans and sugar are easily measured, but I still weigh the sugar for accuracy. I have a chart of all my ingredients for baking and can whip up a cake or cookies in a flash. I guess that, because I taught the metric system to intermediate school children, and later worked as an industrial chemist, I am more comfortable with that system. They still call it the British system of weights and measures, but they use metric in the U.K. Hmmm, makes one wonder. I seriously suggest you try it, you just might be a convert – and DO try this cake.

You are the best cooking &sweet thanks for every thing

Hi Pati: I’m a fan of your show, soy de Cd. Juarez asi que me gusto ver que una Chef Mexicana este poniendo en alto la cocina Mexicana. I have made this cake a few time, it is delicious. I have made slight modifications to it, nothing major. I double up most ingredients and substitute sugar with agave, so yummy! I’ve also used different types of nuts and they are all very nice in the recipe, I’ve added pieces of nuts once the batter is in the baking dish for a little extra touch. Here are the measurements I use:

1/2 cup unsalted butter plus 2 tablespoon for buttering the pan
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 cups pecans
12 large eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup agave
Pinch of kosher or coarse sea salt

Can you replace the butter with coconut oil.

Will this cake freeze well? If so, when it is time to serve it, should I set it out to room temperature or heat it up in the oven?

We are huge fans of the show! Wish it was available on DVD. We have made this several times and it was always delicious, but tried it with cocoa powder last time and it separated while cooking. Is there a successful way to make it with cocoa powder? Thanks so much!

Yum I me for valentine’s! Baked in a heart shaped pan. Thank you Patti! I’m married to a Mexican and he loves when I cook things from Mexico.

Hi Pati,my kids are dairy free. Would I be able to use a vegan margarine instead of butter?

This cake is soooo good! Being gluten free I was anxious to try it. If you love chocolate this is the cake for you!

Hi,
I first made this cake in July 2015 for my mother in law for what turned out to be her last birthday. She loved it! On December 29th I served it again in her honor at a gathering we had after her Memorial Mass. All the generations loved it!

The recipe is the perfect answer to a diabetic’s sweet tooth! Since the carbs from flour wasn’t there, my reading was much lower than when I’d have regular cake. I used a Ninja, but I think that was a mistake. It was harder to clean the blades to get the yummy batter. Will use my Cuisinart next time. I will also send this to my friend who has celiac disease. I think it’ll be okay. I looove your show.

Patti, love your show and the simple down home recipes with easily found ingredients! As my hubby and I both love seafood and fish your recipes today will be my menu this coming weekend. We are 60 and 64 respectively and as you get older the taste buds go on the fritz so mexican recipes are a staple at our house. Your recipes have been a wonderful addition! Hope to see you cooking for many years to come and love your travels too! By the way what were the little fish you were shown fishing for today?

I made this cake today to celebrate my mother -in-laws 82nd birthday. Mary Louise Meraz Olivares loved it! Neither she nor anyone else could believe there was no flour in the cake . This is a fantastic recipe. Thank you!

Hi, Patti. I love your show so much. I gotta try this cake, could I use a 9inch glass brownie pan instead of springform pan?

Hi Pati,

I’ve tried a few of your recipes and loved them. I’m trying this one the flour less cake today. I just one question. Do we need to toast the pecans? Thank you!

Pati, my wife was recently diagnosed with a gluten intolerance and we saw you making this recipe on TV and were overjoyed that it did not call for any flour. We made it last night and it was wonderful! Now my wife can add another dessert to her choices of gluten free foods. Hope you continue to make gluten free foods in future shows. Thanks!

Hi Pati,

This is the fourth recipe I’ve tried from your show… I made it today because my husband and I had some friends over. I topped it with the confectioners’ sugar… Another instant hit!! I love that your recipes are not hard to follow, and they taste amazing!! I love love LOVE your show!!

has anyone tried it with coconut flour?

Pati,

You are so sweet and cheerful, it is wonderful to see your enthusiasm for life. I am making this cake soon. Thank you so much!
Patricia

Made this today and it is absolutely delicious! This will become a staple in my house, great recipe. Try it, you won’t regret it.

Dear Pati
I truly love watching your shows. I love how you are so proud of being Mexican and you enlighten your view of the beauty of Mexico and wonderful qualities!!! Thanks you again for being you!

Perla Marina

can this be made for a diabetic?

Pati,

Love this recipe. Saw you on Create TV last weekend. I have made it 3 times all ready. Family loves it. It is so easy. We have pecan trees and we raise chickens so we have lots of eggs. Perfect recipe.

Nancy

I am hooked on Pati’s show and cannot wait until the next episode. I was the star of our Sunday family dinner thanks to Nana Jose’s Flourless Chocolate Pecan Cake. I’m not telling my family how ridiculously easy this was to make.

Can you please modify recipe if using a 10-1/4″ spring form pan instead? Or your best judgement.
Thank you!
LMC

Amazing!
