for f.chang's birthday this year, i decided to bake a cake. since he's opting for the gluten-free diet, i searched for some potential gluten-free cake recipes. i've been checking out a lot of recipes on allrecipes.com, and landed on this one, a Flourless Chocolate Cake - highly rated and a good number of reviews with modification suggestions. i preferred baking a cake that lacked flour completely, rather than substituting with brown rice flour or something like that.
The cake called for chocolate, sugar, water, pinch of salt, butter and eggs - pretty simple. i bought an 18oz bar of dark chocolate from Trader Joe's for the occasion. The cake was dense, rich, and delicious! it was reminiscent of fudge. for garnish i added some powdered sugar and sectioned an orange to make a flower for the top. the cake was enough to share with at least 15 people. great recipe and a big hit!
aww mel, you are such a good girlfriend :) :) it looks delicious!!
