Remarks:
A flourless chocolate cake recipe has been on my To-do list for ages! When K indicated that a chocolate cake would be well appreciated for a birthday, I made a mental note to bake it specially for K. I'd used Van Houten's semi sweet chocolate bar and cut down a bit of sugar to compensate the change. When the cake was ready, it filled the kitchen as well as the fridge with a tangible chocolatety smell.
And when both of us tasted it.. Oh my, it's a real delicacy, so so fit for a king (or a queen, or a jack or an ace or two little pigs)~
