Almond Flour Fudgy Chocolate Cake
This chocolate cake is dense, fudgy and #1 in chocolate lovers’ recipes. A small piece is all that is needed because it is so rich! Each bite melts in your mouth, calling you to take just one more bite! I make this cake year-round and it is loved by family and friends. This cake is also flourless, perfect for Passover and for those who need gluten-free. With dairy free margarine, the cake can easily be dairy free, which is how I make it. Recipe is below.

Her life as an Incan breaks through her consciousness, compelling her to go on a journey to the heights of the Andes and the remnants of the Incan Empire. “As she holds Bella, the image of Bella dissolves and she realizes that she holds her son from another life, Kantu, frozen to death.” Sometimes it is hard to know what you are seeing.
