There are a lot of Flourless Chocolate Cake recipes. I have seen many of them over the years. They are all similar and yet different. Each one is it’s own take on a classic recipe.
I found this version for Flourless Chocolate Cake in a Gourmet Magazine cookbook and I made it for dinner on Christmas Day. My family loved it. It was so good. It was a rich and dense chocolate cake that was so easy to make. If you love chocolate like I do, you will love this cake.
This cake is great for everyone, not just for those that are eating gluten free. I think this would be an excellent dessert to serve company, because it is a gluten free yet normal recipe. In fact, I am planning on taking this to a church dinner we are having next week.
Serve this with vanilla ice cream and it is even better.
