The flourless version of brownies, with walnuts and cinnamon-laced apple bits. The chocolate is half dark and the spicy apples and nuts make them very rich-flavored. Their texture is super-moist and way closer to fudge than to regular cake (given the lack of flour), and I would gladly make them again over and over. The company enjoyed them a lot too ;).
If you're looking for another flourless chocolate cake, but maybe something a bit more festive and impressive (though equally easy to make), try this cake with choco-whiskey sauce. ;)
