Flourless chocolate cake is a dense cake made from an aerated chocolate custard.[1] The first documented form of the cake was seen in Ferrara, Italy,[2] though some forms of the cake have myths surrounding their origins.[3] The dessert contains no gluten, which makes it acceptable for those with celiac disease,[4] gluten-free diets, and during religious holidays in which gluten and grains are not permitted.[5]
