Flourless Chocolate Cake by King Arthur Flour- With Chocolate Gl image

I've gone through all the flourless cake recipes to try to find this one but it's just enough different that I felt I needed to post it separate. I received this in the mail from King Arthur's and couldn't wait to make it. It's simple, only a few ingredients and the results are a chewy, chocolaty delight. Very rich, sweet and more like a brownie and a little goes a long way. It looks elegant and a great desert for company and has the added benefit of tasting even better the next day. Using the microwave makes this go together quick and easy. I've just guessed at the serving size as it's so rich you can only eat very small slices at a time. So for chocolate lovers everywhere, here's to us!!
