It's a pity that my son had nipped in and messed the cake stand, but I had to be quick taking the photo...not only because it was disappearing before my eyes, but because the dim light of a damp, grey, January day wasn't helping. <br />I thought the recipe might appeal to more people with being flour-less. <br /><br />Now oh how I wish I wasn't a chocoholic...it would save me a fortune! <br />Oh now see what's happened...I'm craving a chunk of choccie and will have to raid the fridge! <br />I don't really go for cakes...I only bake them, but I have a weakness for a few cubes from a bar especially, if they're chilled.<br />Stop, stop me now otherwise I'll be drooling on my keyboard.<br /><br />Have a great weekend...I'm off to the fridge! :DNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-43339814065077243562014-01-18T15:45:47.312+00:002014-01-18T15:45:47.312+00:00That's just what I've done Stefanie...I...That's just what I've done Stefanie...I've just looked at the cake and it's slowly disappearing! ;D<br />Thanks for visiting and taking the time to scroll back through my natterings. <br /><br />Have a fun weekend and I'll pop over to your place soon.

It is so well worth continuing with, and I look forward to seeing it completed. I love the contorted twigs, remind me of a small curly hazel tree we had in one of our gardens with lovely twisted branches and twigs.<br />The rich colours of your cake with the splash of orange against the chocolate colour is a delicious photo, but I hope that I am the only grumpy non-chocolate lover who wouldn't appreciate a gift of a chunk (more for everyone else!). The idea of a flourless cake is interesting though, especially for those like members of my family who are gluten intolerant.
