We very much fancy a slice of this Dense Chocolate Cake

Posted Fri, Nov 20, 20 by Sunsweet

Our Dense Chocolate Cake is wonderfully moist, super chocolatey and surprisingly simple to make. But there’s something that’s even more surprising. Our cake is a gluten-free bake and each delicious slice contains fewer than 400 calories. And it smells amazing while baking!

100 g butter, cubed

1 vanilla pod

5 eggs

1 pinch of salt
