DEATH BY CHOCOLATE FLOURLESS CAKE
This recipe is from Bon Appetit. It is truly "Death by Chocolate." It's a rich and moist flourless cake. Next time, I will try adding less corn syrup to the glaze. It makes the glaze cloyingly sweet.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the cake. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a water bath: Baking the cake in a water bath helps to create a moist and tender cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use a rich and creamy frosting: A rich and creamy frosting will complement the chocolate cake perfectly.
