Flourless Dark Chocolate Cake

Cake Recipes, Gluten Free Desserts | 0 comments

While not specifically designed to be gluten-free, the flourless chocolate cake is obviously a great choice for those who can’t eat flour. It is a very rich dessert and you only need a small slice. Most recipes make a very large quantity – like 16 servings. I was just making it for my husband and myself for Valentine’s Day, and we really didn’t need 16 servings! So this recipe makes a more manageable 8 servings (although still a bit more than we REALLY needed!). As usual it is also free of refined sugar, using maple syrup as a sweetener. Enjoy with a chocolate glaze, or with berries and whipped cream.
