I recently needed a nice desert for small family dinner. I knew I wouldn't have a huge amount of time to make it in advance. I also knew that I wasn't the only one in the group who was on a diet!
I'd used this recipe before, but I'd forgotten just how good it is. I served it covered with fresh raspberries and blackberries, dusted with icing sugar with cream on the side. It seemed to go down a treat - there wasn't any left over!
When I went to look for the recipe I couldn't find it - the recipe book had hidden it under "Cold Puddings" rather than "cakes"! It is really a cake - you could either ice it or dust it with icing sugar and serve as is.
Flourless cakes don't rise, well not permanently - they will look impressive as you remove them from the oven, and then immediately collapse. Don't panic! That's just how they are, it certainly doesn't affect the taste though it may confuse your guests. Once guessed that it was a brownie!

This cake is absolutely delicious. At long last I've found a gluten-free chocolate cake that's not packed full of fat. Thanks for sharing.
This sounds absolutely delicious! I must give it a try.
Oops - first its a typo - should be Castor Sugar - its just white sugar that is finer ground than regular sugar - but not as fine as icing sugar ie its still grains not powder. You could probably just munch some regular sugar in a food processor to the same effect.
Or just use regular - it will taste the same but may be a little bit gritty in texture. May be the same as "super fine sugar" in the US
Okay Lissie, for the people in the U.S., what is caster sugar? I've got to make this, but I know I'll eat it in one day.
Anything with Chocolate has to be good.
O.O GLUTEN FREE CAKE!!!(<--is gluten intolerant) *bookmarks* thank you!
YUM. Chocolate cake is my fav. Nice article!!
Great recipe, Lissie! It's definitely making my list of recipes I've got to try. Thanks!
I've never eaten gluten free cake but this looks wonderful!
Brilliant. I might have a go at making this one for my mum who needs to eat gluten free.
