Flour-less Chocolate Cake

Decadently delicious chocolate cake and it is Flour-less!

No Way…a flour less cake?  Be still my gluten free heart (and digestive system)…can it be true?
Will it taste like cardboard?
Or something much worse?  (Full body shiver)

I love L-O-V-E chocolate!

There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING, that could not be improved with chocolate.  Look at chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate covered peanuts, chocolate covered raisins and have you tried chocolate covered pomegranates?  If not run, don’t walk, to the store and buy some.  Lord child, I am talking beyond delicious and totally addicting!

And now I have the chance to make a flour-less chocolate cake, that might taste good?  Count me in.

So I made this Flour-less Chocolate Cake and OH.MY.GOODNESS!  This flour-less cake was beyond the BOMB!
It is so moist, so rich in chocolate flavor, so let me have that second slice, now.

We made this cake for a birthday celebration (ok, it was my birthday celebration and I wanted chocolate) and it was a HIT!!
Top a slice with some fresh strawberries and I want my birthday everyday!

This Flour-less Chocolate Cake recipe is easy, delicious, perfect for any occasion that chocolate is required and the list goes on and on.

Enjoy this perfect tasting Flour-less Chocolate Cake for your chocolate addiction.
