Flourless cakes are especially made for people with gluten intolerance. However, they are equally delicious and healthy at the same time . Eggs proves to be the binding agent to form this yummy and moist chocolate cake full of decadence.

I love French flourless chocolate cake for it's own sake. It's a wonderful rich flavor.
Opera cake can easily be made gluten-free (as it's an almond flour sponge with just a little wheat flour in the standard recipe).
