Flourless Chocolate Cake II

SUBMITTED BY: Shana Hillman  PHOTO BY: Jen K 

"Perfect for chocolate lovers! Great for entertaining, deceptively easy to make. Perfect for people who can't have gluten. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream, or simply dusted with icing sugar. I flour the pan using cocoa powder so it won't leave white marks on the cake and keeps it totally gluten free."
