An old favourite this flourless chocolate cake recipe is simple, gluten-free and absolutely restaurant quality.

That's right no flour needed for this recipe. The only ingredients are chocolate, butter, eggs, sugar, milk, ground almonds and cocoa powder. Moist fudgy and is delicious served with berries and ice cream or fresh cream.
