Original Flourless Chocolate Torte Recipe


Original Flourless Chocolate Torte Recipe
This is the original, high-cholesterol version of a chocolate flourless cake that my mom had in her recipe box. I also have the re-worked, vegan version on this site as well (The Vegan Chocoholic's Flourless Torte).
