I made this cake for a bar-b-que we were having at our house because a friend of mine has Celiac's disease. She absolutely loved it!!! It was so good!!!!

Not enough stars for this cake to be sure. Made it for my mom's birthday. She said noone had made her a cake in 25 years and it was so worth the wait. One word to sum up: decadent! Her husband called it death by chocolate. Instead of raspberries I used raspberry sauce from the recipe my Miss Nezz. Next time I make this I maytry splenda in the cake instead of regular sugar. Having not made a flourless cake before, I was suprised how high it rose in the oven, and then scared at how far it fell as it cooled. The end result seemed more like a torte that a cake. I did find that I had to leave the springform rim on until almost cool. I removed it initially and the cake begin to try and fall apart. Putting the rim back on fixed that and when cool, it held together very well. This is destined to become a family favorite.
