Flourless Chocolate Cake

"This is so easy!  It's always the biggest hit at parties."

1. Preheat oven to 300 F.  Melt chocolate and butter in double boiler.  Stir together half the sugar and four yolks; add to melted chocolate concoction.  
2. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites; slowly add remaining 1/2 cup sugar until stiff peaks form.  Fold mixture into chocolate.  Pour into a greased 9-inch cake pan.

I found this recipe as I was clipping coupons one day, and I decided to try it out for my gluten-free husband.  There are only four ingredients, but there is a little bit of a method to putting this cake together.  It is worth it though, and absolutely delicious!!!  It's definitely not the prettiest thing you've ever seen, but its so good and gooey!  I liked it with sliced strawberries.  

I hope you try it!
