Naomi's Chocolate Cake

 (I bake mine in a Bundt cake pan.)

This recipe is an adaptation of one of my favorite french chocolate cake. It is insanely easy and fast. From start to finish it takes barely 30 mn! (baking included!). Perfect for those chocolate cravings that can't wait!... My son loves it and sometimes, when the oven is on, he asks for chocolate cake because the poor guy thinks that's what's baking in there!... My daughter used to love making it when she was 4 years old (she still does), so it was named after her... :-)

Ingredients:

- 5 Tsp CF margarine or canola oil
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup GF flour (or tapioca starch)
- 1 cup GFCFsemi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup sugar or substitute
- 1 tsp GF baking powder
- nuts, almonds (optional)
- vanilla, almond, or coffee extract (optional)
-> You can omit the baking powder and beat the egg whites instead, fold them in carefully at the end.

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Mix the eggs and the sugar. Melt the chocolate with the oil and add to the eggs.
Finish with the flour and baking powder. Add the nuts if you're using some.
Pour in a greased pan and bake for about 20 minutes (15 if you like it wet in the center).


This cake has pretty much the texture of a brownie, and is very rich in chocolate flavor. The recipe uses so little flour that you don't need Xanthan gum, and you can replace the flour with anything (if you are not allergic ground almonds taste great...), you can even skip it altogether but the cake will be a little more dense and "wet".
