Flourless Chocolate Cake couldn’t get more delicious or easy to make with this recipe for Flourless Chocolate Cake {with Raspberry Glaze}!
We had a little bit of a scare here last week. Mom fell down the cellar stairs! Thank goodness my son and I were home and able to help her. Despite two fractures….one in her left heel and one in her left wrist… she is doing ok.
It definitely could have been a lot worse and she is very lucky. It has certainly has put a damper on Christmas though. The sadness of spending her first Christmas without my father has begun to set in and being stuck in a rehab hospital is making it even worse. We all miss him so much.
If you would like to send her a little “Get Well” wish in the comments below it would be much appreciated. Hopefully it will brighten her spirits a bit.
She will be spending lots of time on her ipad over the next couple of weeks so I’d like to give her something nice to read.
This Flourless Chocolate Cake recipe is one that I’ve been wanting to share with you for quite some time. I make it for Mom on her birthday every year.
She has a gluten intolerance so she doesn’t always get to enjoy dessert without suffering later. This amazing Flourless Chocolate Cake is her absolute favorite and the best part is she doesn’t need to worry about any after affects.
I decided to make it for her as a special treat while she’s recuperating in the hospital. It was nice to see a smile on her face. 🙂
