Love devouring a chocolate dessert? Here is the best recipe for a flour-free chocolate cake that also includes the sourness of cherries. The dark, exotic, moist flourless chocolate cake has pockets of cherry-induced sourness, a gooey centre, and a great, rich texture. The cake is a blast of flavors, as the extreme sweetness of the chocolate is beautifully disturbed by the sour cherries. Additionally, this cake has a lovely lightness, and you can truly taste the chocolate because it doesn't contain any wheat.
It will satisfy your sweet tooth cravings thanks to its fudge-like texture. Alternatively, top with your favourite whipped cream and fresh chopped, caramelized, or dried cherries.
