Flourless Chocolate Cake II

Flourless Chocolate Cake II

Perfect for chocolate lovers and people who can’t have gluten! Great for entertaining, deceptively easy to make. I flour the pan using cocoa powder so it won’t leave white marks on the cake and keeps it totally gluten free. Serve warm — either topped with whipped cream or dusted with powdered sugar — alongside a scoop of ice cream. For a chocolate ganache topping, see footnotes!
