1 1/2 cups butter, melted
1 3/4 cups white sugar
1/2 cup water

Chop chocolate squares and place in a large bowl with chocolate chips. Add melted butter. Heat water and 1 1/2 cups sugar in a saucepan until boiling, then pour over chocolate. Stir until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip eggs with remaining 1/4 cup sugar until thick. Fold into chocolate mixture. Pour batter into 10 inch pan.
Place 10 inch pan on a cookie sheet in the oven and fill the cookie sheet with water.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool and refrigerate for several hours. Be extremely careful not to burn yourself on the hot water when removing the sheet pan from the oven.
Dip the pan in hot water to remove cooled cake. Garnish with whipped cream and serve.

The Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy by Bette Hagman has about 20 pages of cake recipes in it and you can get that cookbook at Barnes and Noble among other places. There are mixes available at Whole Foods that are gluten free.
I was at Kroger’s last night and Pamela’s has a chocolate cake mix and dark chocolate icing mixes out– both GF.
I tell you I do NOT bake from scratch but always use this mix. EVERYONE loves it and they can never tell its gluten free!
Pamela’s Products Lucious Chocolate Cake Mix
Its found in most health food stores, Whole Foods, etc and online. http://www.glutenfree.com

I LOVE her stuff and u can use her basic mix to jazz it up and make it your own.
Remember many canned frosting are NOT GF. Read the labels or make your own.
