You will be unbelievably surprised when you serve this delightful and fabulous chocolate dessert because even your husband who hates corn meal could not be able resist the charm and flavor of this moist and smooth cake. Another good thing about this is that it does not contain much sugar, which is of course perfect for those who are diabetic and people who are gluten-intolerant since - this recipe is made of corn meal - but love chocolates and found themselves so restraint when it comes to sweets. This is very satisfying, best served with whipped cream on top of it.
