Chocolate Mousse Cake

This was in tonight's paper, in the vegetarian cooking column, and it just happens to be gluten-free as well as decadent. It says to use baking chocolate with 70% cocoa. Here's the description: "a crisp, crackling crust over a layer of brownie-like dough that concealed an almost molten chocolate center." Also described as "a tiny bit gooey". Not that we mind that. If you try it, tell me how it turns out!

1T ground almonds, plus extra to dust the pan

10-1/2 oz dark chocolate

1-1/2c sugar

1-1/4 sticks unsalted butter

pinch of salt

5 large eggs

confectioner's sugar (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spray an 8" or 9" springform pan with cooking spray, then dust it with ground almonds, shaking off any excess. Set aside.

In a double boiler set at a low simmer, melt the chocolate, butter, and sugar, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat.

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and ground almonds. Fold the egg mixture into the chocolate and stir until thickened, several minutes. Pour the cake into the pan, smooth the top and bake 45 minutes, or until the top is set and begins to crack.

Remove the side of the pan and let the cake cool completely. Dust with confectioner's sugar if desired. Makes 10 servings.

Fantastic!!!! Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I made it for my boyfriend's birthday party, and I got rave reviews from everyone who ate it. My only regret was letting my boyfriend take a few bites of mine after all of the pieces were gone. It's very rich, so stock up on milk, and don't cut a piece that's too big. In addition the outer crust gets a little too crusty if it sits out for too long, so do try to cook it not too long before serving (long enough to fully cool though). The description wasn't lying when it referred to the "molten chocolate center"!

I finally got around to making this last night and served it today. It was unbelievably good. Everyone who tried it picked up a piece, put it in their mouth, then a look of bliss came over their faces and they all said Oh. My. God. This is sooo good. You can melt the chocolate in the microwave to make it even easier.

Back by popular demand, I made this cake again. This time I was sure to whip the eggs for 8 minutes, which made it really light and moussy--even better than it was the first time. It sunk a little in the middle, but oh well--it tastes delicious. Try this addition.

Ingredients

2 pagkages of 12 oz frozen raspberries

2/3 cups sugar

1/4 cup water

Bring ingredients to a slow boil, stirring frequently. Puree and then strain out the seeds. Serving this hot over or next to the cake is unreal!

This sounds fabulous. As a former chocoholic turned caroboholic. If I can find chocolate without soy lecithin in it I will try it.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      HI Nancy, In your first post, you said that you were diagnosed by biopsy and blood test - this is what I was referring to: the blood test is for antibodies that are made during active disease. After a period on a strictly gluten-free diet, the antibodies return to low level. It is a good way of checking for accidental exposure if symptoms persist. If...

      I'm not saying this is what you have, but your description reminds me of Morgellons, which are not very well understood. Here is a review from a reputable source. If it seems similar to your experience, you could raise this question with your Dr. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/morgellons-disease

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, are you consuming dairy? Not sure if dairy is part of the carnivore diet.

After a period on a strictly gluten-free diet, the antibodies return to low level. It is a good way of checking for accidental exposure if symptoms persist. If you are reacting to foods that don't contain gluten, you may be reacting to something else. Alternatively, a condition called SIBO is common in people with coeliac disease, where there is an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. This can be tested for with a simple breath test. The main treatment is with a course of antibiotic. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply.  I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal allergy inflammation be contributing to my celiac inflammation? I am so careful, there is no way I could ingest gluten. For example, couple of months ago I tried a cough drop that says it was gluten free. I checked ingredients, it seemed fine. But just taking one of those caused me to have nausea, vomiting, and the same extreme abdominal pain. Have you ever heard of anyone else having symptoms like mine after being diagnosed celiac and strictly gluten free? The last episode I had like this was yesterday, after I ate a certified gluten-free coconut macaroon with a little chocolate on it. I have eaten coconut and chocolate before with no issue,  so I didn't see how I could all of a sudden have such a strong response.
