Introduction

Perfect for chocolate lovers! Great for entertaining, deceptively easy to make. Perfect for people who can't have gluten. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream, or simply dusted with icing sugar. I flour the pan using cocoa powder so it won't leave white marks on the cake and keeps it totally gluten free. Not low calorie, but very rich so you could easily half the portion if you pair it with some berries on top. I also know someone who substituted splenda for the sugar and swore she couldn't tell the difference but I have never tried it. Perfect for chocolate lovers!

    Very Good
    Perhaps I didn't cook mine long enough (40 minutes at 325). Very rich flavor, but fell apart when I flipped it over after 10 minutes of cooling in the pan. Salvaged what I could for sampling purposes. Will make again, but perhaps tweak the cook time a bit. - 12/11/16
