What to do for a cake? It doesn't seem right to have two cakes for a small event like this. Who needs the stress of hoping a crumb from one cake doesn't fall on the dessert plate of your gluten free person? And would you really want to be looking at a delicious cake that you can't eat?
When I was first married I made the most delicious cake that didn't have any flour at all. Although you can find other flourless chocolate cakes online, I didn't see the point of trying something else when this is so good. King Arthur Flour has it on their site, and you can find it here.
This is probably the most decadent cake I have ever made, with two sticks of butter and 12 ounces of chocolate. But if you cut your pieces small and have it only as a special treat, this cake can fit into a healthy eating plan. I had 8 at my dinner, but still had leftover. I would say it could serve 12 nicely.
Happy birthday, Dad!!
