Flourless Chocolate Cake
This flourless chocolate cake recipe is a winner in my books. A simple recipe I’ve been using for years and years, and it never disappoints. This dark and fudgy cake is extra luscious with chocolate ganache or creme fraiche and loads of berries. Super delish served with homemade salted caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream as an option too! You can thank me later 😉
