Flourless Chocolate Cake

My parents are big desert lovers and my mom always bakes.  And as you know, I love to bake as well, so of course we share recipes all the time.  She discovered this flourless chocolate cake a while back and she's been telling me how great it tastes.  She baked it a few times already, so I had to try it.  And she was right - I can see this type of cake served in fine dining restaurants.  It is super rich, smooth, and chocolaty, similar to a brownie, but without the denseness that comes with flour.  

I sprinkled some powdered sugar on top and served it with sliced strawberries.  It would have also tasted delicious with a berry reduction or other fresh berries. 

Don't be fooled by the "Flourless" title - this is not a low-calorie desert!  However, it is pretty quick and easy to make since it requires only three ingredients.
