FLOURLESS POPPY SEED CHOCOLATE CAKE
Here is another yummy gluten-free cake perfect for Valentine's Day and for anyone who loves poppy seeds and chocolate! It contains no white sugar or high-GI flour. For heart shape dusting, draw a big heart on a piece of parchment paper using a pencil and cut the heart out. Place the heart in the center of the baked cake and dust cocoa powder around it. Discard the heart paper and place the remaining paper on the cake aligning with the heart shape. Dust powdered sugar to create a white heart in the center. If you are concerned with blood sugar spikes, please substitute erythritol for coconut sugar and use sugar-free chocolate. The cake gets more moist if you wrap the cake and keep it at room temperature overnight.
