Ruth’s Chris Chocolate Sin Cake is the ultimate indulgence—a silky, flourless chocolate dessert that’s dense, smooth, and irresistibly rich. This iconic steakhouse treat is renowned for its luxurious texture and bold chocolate flavor, and making it at home is surprisingly simple. Every bite is intense and velvety, delivering pure chocolate pleasure with a sophisticated, restaurant-quality finish.
The magic of this cake comes from its minimal ingredients and careful technique. Butter and chocolate melt together into a glossy base, while eggs add structure and richness without a single speck of flour. The result is a fudgy, truffle-like interior that becomes incredibly smooth once chilled. Baking at a low temperature keeps the texture creamy, while cooling and chilling transform the cake into its signature dense, silky form.
A luscious ganache topping takes the dessert to the next level, adding shine, depth, and a soft, luxurious finish. Served with fresh berries or a tart raspberry coulis, this cake becomes beautifully balanced—decadent yet refined, sweet yet sophisticated.
Perfect for holidays, celebrations, romantic dinners, or any moment that calls for a truly special dessert, this Chocolate Sin Cake is a showstopper every time.
