FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE II
Perfect for chocolate lovers! Great for entertaining, deceptively easy to make. Perfect for people who can't have gluten. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream, or simply dusted with icing sugar. I flour the pan using cocoa powder so it won't leave white marks on the cake and keeps it totally gluten-free.

Tips:
- Prep is Key: Before diving into baking, preheat your oven and prepare the cake pans with parchment paper. Doing this ensures even baking and easy cake release.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring your butter and eggs to room temperature before mixing. Incorporating room-temperature ingredients ensures a smooth and well-blended batter.
- Creaming Method: Follow the creaming method by creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This step creates a smooth texture and incorporates air, leading to a tender crumb.
- Gradually Add Dry Ingredients: Don't rush the addition of dry ingredients to your batter. Mix them in gradually while alternating with small amounts of milk. This helps prevent lumps and ensures a consistent batter.
- Do Not Overmix: Avoid overmixing the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined and avoid overdeveloping the gluten in the flour.
- Baking Time Test: To check the doneness of your chocolate cake, insert a toothpick or skewer into the center. For a moist and tender crumb, the toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs attached, not clean and not wet.
- Decorating Magic: Before frosting your cake, allow it to cool completely. This prevents the frosting from melting and running off the cake. For a beautiful and smooth finish, use a cake turntable while frosting.
