The most delicious cake you will ever eat!

Other people may claim that they make the most delicious cake there is, but I am here to tell you they are wrong. Thanks to my gluten free-ness I have been on the hunt for fantastic recipes that won't hurt my belly and I have found some gems!!! This one is my new favorite and will probably become my 'signature' dessert (every good cook has one!). The recipe is beyond easy (5 ingredients!) and takes no special skills (though you do have to know the basics of melting chocolate...) I highly recommend that you stop what you are doing right now and go make yourself some flourless chocolate cake!!

Ingredients:
4 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder plus additional for sprinkling

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375°F and butter an 8-inch round baking pan. Line bottom with a round of wax paper and butter paper.

Chop chocolate into small pieces. In a double boiler or metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate with butter, stirring, until smooth. Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat and whisk sugar into chocolate mixture. Add eggs and whisk well. Sift 1/2 cup cocoa powder over chocolate mixture and whisk until just combined. Pour batter into pan and bake in middle of oven 25 minutes, or until top has formed a thin crust. Cool cake in pan on a rack 5 minutes and invert onto a serving plate.
Dust cake with additional cocoa powder. (I used powdered sugar to dust but go ahead, lay on the chocolate!!!!)

Must be (college) football season

Let me begin this post by letting you know that I BLEED scarlet and grey. I am a buckeye fan and that's that. My husband, on the other hand, is (unfortunately) a Michigan fan. I've forgiven him though, and so can you. Anyways, when college football season rolls around, we get pretty excited. When I was a kid I would get decked out in buckeye gear and cheer on my team and now it's my kids turn to do just that. Now let me explain the colors you see below: Jon is the bigger football fan, lily is a daddy's girl and Christian wants to be just like dad so the pictures turned out a little more maize and blue than expected :/ But homemade shirts are a tradition and the Michigan game is on tonight so alas, the kids have joined the dark side. Don't worry, I'll send them to bed early for their 'disobedience' ;) Lily's shirt came first (I was feeling extra charitable towards Jon and agreed to help her) and then Christian got the bug and created his own. So, please refrain from throwing tomatoes at the atrocities below and attempt to enjoy....
