Outpost’s Flourless Chocolate Cake

            In a matter of hours it will be Valentine’s Day.  This makes you think of cards, flowers, and chocolate.  The cards and flowers can be bought or, in the case of cards, made to suit your personal taste.  But let’s talk about chocolate.  There are many kinds: white, milk, semi-sweet, and dark, along with combinations of the chocolates.  Then, of course, chocolate comes in many shapes and sizes from the simple bar to the pointed kiss shape made famous by Hershey.
                The chocolate I want to talk about is a decadent chocolate confection that can be purchased at Outpost Natural Foods.  It is the Flourless Chocolate Cake.  Not only is this cake rich and has a deep chocolate taste, it is gluten-free.  Yes, gluten-free.  You can buy a slice at Outpost stores (as it is not labeled as gluten-free, be sure to ask so you get the right one), or you can make it yourself.
                Make it myself?  Yes.  In the winter issue of Graze, Outpost’s magazine, this cake is the secret recipe with the emphasis that it is gluten-free.  So treat yourself or share this delicious cake for Valentine’s Day.
