I found this cake to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

This cake is a bit dense, so it's best to serve it in small slices.

This cake is so rich and decadent, it's hard to believe it's flourless. I love the addition of almond flour, it gives the cake a wonderful nutty flavor.

I've tried many flourless chocolate cakes, but this one is by far the best. The almond flour gives it a moist, tender crumb and the chocolate flavor is intense and delicious.
