I haven't been able to find a light, cake-like recipe for gluten free chocolate cake. So I use a gluten free brownie recipe instead. Just bake it in cake pans, torte and stack just like cake...but it's brownies! And no one will ever be able to tell that it's gluten-free. Seriously good.

This is my fav, it's requested by gluten free peeps but more often by people who just love chocolate,
Two cubes of butter melted with 8oz fine chocolate
add 1 1/4 c. sugar
1 c. cocoa
and 6 eggs
mix until blended and bake @ 350 for about 45 min.
The nicer the chocolate you use the tastier it is but it is good with just choc chips too.
I've made this one in the past; while I didn't eat it (only tasted the trimmings) I received compliments:
Gluten Free, Celiac Safe white cake (Just use the chocolate variation at the end)
