Flourless Chocolate Torte

I love "Better homes and garden" and fast ed. Naturally, I grabbed this special supplement issue of "Better homes and garden" immediately when I spot the magazine in the supermarket.

This recipe is so easy that I laughed after making it. Although this cake contains as much chocolate and butter as the one that I made previously (Donna Hay's chocolate cake), this is surprisingly so moist and delicious. The best thing is it is gluten-free! I was thrilled because I can make this cake for my friend and her child who are both on gluten free diet due to Celiac.

 

Here's the recipe from the current supplement issue of Better Home and gardens, Better Basic with fast ed (2010)

200g dark chocolate
200g butter
4 eggs
230g brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking baking powder (I've used the gluten free one)
250g almond meal
icing sugar for dusting

1. Preheat oven to 170°C. Line 22 cm round cake tin with baking paper.
2. Place chocolate and butter in heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, Stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Add eggs, sugar and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Fold in almond meal and baking powder. Spoon into prepared tin and bake for 45 min or until firm to touch. Cool completely on wire rack.

I used half the recipe and use 2 x 12 cm non tick shallow round stone bakeware.

Happy Baking
