This dish has none of those problems. It is a dense, moist chocolate cake, almost like a brownie. It is perfect for friends or relatives who are not gluten-free. There are no pricey, gluten-free flours and gums (xanthan gum or guar gum) in this dish. You or your friends do not have to buy a big bag of some ingredient that you will only use once to make a gluten free dish! This is also great for novices like my mom and I were when we found this recipe.
You can make a basic chocolate cake, or a mint chocolate cake, or a cream cheese marble. Plus, you can make it dairy free if you use dairy free chocolate chips. I've used baking chocolate chips that are not "certified" df but don't have any dairy in the ingredients.
Finally, you can make brownie bites in mini or standard size muffin cups! (Line the cups with paper and bake for less time.) Spooning batter into muffin tins takes more time so we usually just make the cake.
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or df chips).
*Variation: dark chocolate and mint chips (2 in 1 package from Nestle)
1/2 cup butter, or if you want to make it dairy free, coconut oil.
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa
