What’s better than the heavenly combination of chocolate and orange? A chocolate-orange cake without flour. That makes it really versatile, fit for Passover and anytime you need a gluten-free dessert option to please every sweet tooth.

Gluten Free Chocolate Orange Cake

Melt 2 cups dark chocolate chips and 1 cup butter in a double boiler or microwave.

Remove from heat, mix in zest of 1 large orange or 2 small ones.

Add in 1½ cups light brown sugar.

Separate 5 eggs. Mix the egg yolks into the chocolate.

Using a mixer, whisk the whites to stiff peaks. Fold the whites into the chocolate mix.

Pour half the mixture into an 8-inch springform pan and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 30-35 minutes until the top has set.

Take out of the oven, then add the rest of the mixture (stir it before if it’s thickened).

Continue baking for a further 30-35 minutes until the top has set.

Cool in the pan completely before serving.
