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 cake tin using cocoa powder so it won't leave white marks on the cake and keeps it totally gluten free. You can make an icing for the top or pour over melted chocolate.

Found this recipe after eating something like it in a restaurant.
It was just as nice,really rich and chocolatey.
I cooked for at about 170 degrees for 30 mins and topped with a chocolate ganache. Will try it with ground almonds next time just to see if its less rich.

Although this cake was really yummy I found it too rich with the cocoa as well as plain chocolate so when I made it again I add in 200g of ground almonds in place of the cocoa. Gorgeous!

Really nice gooey cake, perfect base for a dinner party dessert, glam up by adding different flavour ice creams (choc mint chip is very nice and looks great served with a garnish of mint leaves and a cape gooseberry) Choc covered fruit works equally as well served with a good quality clotted cream. Superb!

Something else.
Cut into slices, dusted with icing sugar, served with a quenelle of either clotted cream or ice cream and chocolate coated strawberries makes a delightful dinner party dessert.

I did my own version with hazelnuts and whiskey. I was short on eggs, only one left!, so I used smaller portions of everything and little ramekins to bake them in. It turned out really well. This easy flourless cake recipe makes an excellent basis. I loved that it doesn't require a mixer, so there's much less cleaning and preparation time involved.

Something else.
Followed the advice of others and cooked for 50 mins.
Also, I only had dark muscovado sugar in the cupboard so I used that instead of caster sugar.

Altered ingredient amounts.
Isn't this more of a mousse?
