Flourless Chocolate Cake

/
  • 6oz semisweet chocolate 
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup 
  • 1/2cup sugar 
  • 3 eggs 
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa 
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla.

This decadent recipe was sent to me from my mother-in-law.  She strictly adheres to a gluten free diet and just so happens to be a talented professional baker!

*Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Coat an 8-inch round pan with "flavorless" coconut oil and then cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan and oil that as well.  Melt chips with syrup. Take off heat. Add sugar. Add eggs. Sifted cocoa, salt and vanilla.  Bake for 25 minutes.  Then enjoy!  It is a delicious and rich treat that actually has some health benefits!
