A friend of mine is allergic to gluten. I tried my best not having to invite her over seeing that almost everything I cook & serve contains some sort of gluten. Once I realized that a gluten-free diet contains a large range of food I wasn’t that worried about it. Meat, Rice, Vegetables…oh but wait, dessert?! I did not want to serve fruit & ice cream, I wanted to bake. So I tried baking this flourless chocolate cake.
