this is a recipe that I spotted that is not only looks easy to make and very chocolaty but it is gluten free also... so I thought I would post it... Ingredients:
8 ounces good quality semisweet chocolate |
1 cup granulated sugar |
1 cup unsalted butter |
4 large eggs, well beaten |
chocolate ganache |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
10 ounces semisweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line with foil an 8-inch springform pan.
2. Melt butter in a medium-size glass bowl in the microwave (about 1 to 2 minutes). Add the chocolate and microwave for 30 more seconds. Let sit for about 3 or 4 minutes, then add the sugar and stir until blended. When cool, stir in the beaten eggs. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a crust forms on top. Cool to room temperature then refrigerate overnight in pan.
3. Remove cake from pan, and place cake on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
4. Make ganache by placing the whipping cream in a large saucepan. Heat to almost boiling. Remove from burner and add chocolate chips. Let sit for about 4 to 5 minutes, then stir to blend. Pour ganache over the cake and spread over the sides. It will be glossy. Carefully remove iced cake to a serving plate.
5. Serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
