Flourless Chocolate Cake

Flourless Chocolate Cake

This is the first recipe I am publicly releasing on Youtube, and I hope you will like it. I chose to bake a gluten free chocolate cake because I have a friend that does not eat gluten. Even if you can eat gluten, I recommend you to try this recipe because it is really good!

My first YouTube video

Everything started a week ago when my math teacher asked everybody in the classroom what we did during the weekend. I told her that I made meringues and she replied that she thought it was really hard to make. So I wanted to prove her wrong and I decided to make more meringues the following weekend and record the process to show her how I did.

The meringues came out beautifully and I was proud to send my teacher the link to the video. Unfortunately, Mommy said we cannot publicly post the video because I was wearing a shirt with the name of my town on it. Making this meringue video, I realized I loved making a video, so now I want to make even more videos about making desserts (and maybe even lunch and dinner sometime in the future)!
