Try this gluten free chocolate cake recipe for something flavorful! This recipe is dedicated to the men in my life. Recently my husband and 15 year old son were diagnosed with Celiac Disease (people who have celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, and barley). This is a lovely rich chocolate cake with a touch of chili to enhance the flavor.
