This is another recipe that I would highly recommend using Ghirardelli Chocolate Chips. I have never tried any other kind of chips and I’m not sure it would be as good. I have been making this for years since some of my family members can’t have gluten. It is just one of those recipes that is naturally gluten free and it is very good. The cake just melts in your mouth and it’s pretty easy to make too. I know last time I checked Ghirardelli Chips were gluten free but you may want to double check since companies change stuff so often. I hope you enjoy!
If you don’t want to make the ganache for the top, you can just sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Don’t forget to put parchment paper down on the greased pan.
Just keep mixing until the egg and chocolate/butter mixture melt together.
This is my water bath, nothing fancy. It’s just a pan filled with a little water.
