Flour-less Chocolate Cake

This flour-less chocolate cake is perfect for gluten free dieters and the chocolate lovers alike. It is very rich and a little goes a LONG way. You can also add in raisins and nuts to make a nice little “addition” to the flavor palate.

Flour-less Chocolate Cake w/Raisins
served w/ Vanilla Ice Cream

Flour-less Chocolate Cake
1/2 cup of finely chopped semi sweet chocolate
1 stick of butter
3/4 cup of sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Optional ** 1/4 cup raisins or walnuts

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and butter an 8-inch round baking pan. Line the bottom of the pan with wax paper and butter the pan. (will make removal and clean up REALLY easy)

2.  In a double boiler or using a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate with the stick of butter, stirring until smooth. Remove metal bowl from heat and whisk in the sugar. Then add in one egg at a time until completely blended. Sift in 1/2 cup of cocoa powder and mix well.

3.Pour batter into your buttered pan and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top has formed a thin crust.  Remove from pan and cool on a baking rack or on room temperature plate for approximately 5-10 minutes. You can lightly dust the top of the cake with additional cocoa powder or with powdered sugar.

4.  Best served with ice cream. Vanilla or light flavored sorbets (orange, lime, lemon, etc). Enjoy!
