Flourless Chocolate Cake is a rich and delicious gluten-free cake that everyone can enjoy!
Flourless cake is one of my favorite desserts to serve to company during the holiday because it is normal food that is gluten free. It also contains normal ingredients.
What is in flourless cake?
Flourless cake contains no flour and the ingredients are ingredients that everyone can easily get. Most flourless cakes are simply eggs, butter, sugar, and chocolate.
Gourmet Magazine Flourless Chocolate Cake
There are a lot of flourless chocolate cake recipes out there. They are all similar and yet different. Each one is its own take on a classic recipe.
This flourless chocolate cake is one that I shared way back in January 2010. That was less than six months after I went gluten-free.
When I was thinking about my menu for Thanksgiving this year I was reminded of this cake and knew that I wanted to reshare it with you.
This recipe is adapted from a Flourless Chocolate Cake in a Gourmet Magazine from years ago. Does anyone remember Gourmet Magazine?
I kind of miss Gourmet magazine. The recipes were great. Some of them were complicated, but many of them were simple recipes like this one.
The first time I made this cake it was for Christmas dinner in 2010. My family loved it.
It was a rich and dense chocolate cake that was so easy to make. Everyone loved it and could not believe that it was gluten free.
I have made it many times since then.
Gluten Free Dessert
This cake is great for everyone, not just for those that are eating gluten free because it is a gluten free cake that is a normal recipe.
I have taken this cake to family gatherings, church dinners, and served it to company. It is a cake everyone enjoys.
This cake is rich. It is a dense cake. It resembles a flourless brownie. This cake does not need frosting. However, it is delicious served with ice cream, berries, or both.

Many thanks for the informative article. My wife’s calling me for dinner So I need to run off without having reading as much as I’d like. But I set your weblog on my RSS feed to ensure that I can read a lot more.
Could I use a sweetener instead of sugar? Thanks!
I have not tried it, but if you have a sweeter that works on recipes similar to this than I say try it. If you try it and it works I would love to know what sweetener that you used.
I made this today! We loved it! Really chocolatey! Thanks!
I am so glad that you enjoyed it!! Thank you so much for letting me know. Have a great day!
