On our recent cruise, I tried to have a different dinner each evening, including dessert. One night I had a delicious piece of flourless chocolate cake. I asked the server if I could have the recipe. The pastry chef said I had to buy his book for the recipe. I declined. While looking for another recipe, I found it in the book called, “Incredibly Easy Gluten-Free Recipes”, published in 2009. So here it is. Enjoy.
