eight hungry chocoholics
Author Notes
A few weeks ago my friend invited me over to make a flourless chocolate cake featured on dashrecipes.com. When we first made it I was a little skeptical of the crater shaped, dark brown mass in front of me. We dished up the hot cake and served it with vanilla bean ice cream. Let me tell you, it was to die for (I tried to make that in italics, and it just wouldn't work, but it needs a lot of emphasis.) I could barely down a small slice, as it is very dense. It was so good that I made it for Easter with some slight modifications. So here's the recipe for all you chocoholics! Dig in. —Kady
