Flourless Chocolate Cake Recipe?!


Question: Flourless Chocolate Cake Recipe!?
I'm allergic to gluten (wheat, barley, and rye) so I can't have flour!. I've also heard that Flourless Chocolate Cakes are to die for!! I'm very pregnant, and very much so in the mood for something really chocolatey!!!
Anyone have a good recipe that they've personally used!?!?
Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com
