What does a flourless chocolate cake taste like?

Flourless chocolate cakes are very rich and dense. With the absence of flour, it is obviously not light and fluffy like most cakes, yet it packs a powerful chocolate punch. Even a small slice is very satisfying. The cake has a more of a fudge like texture. It is topped with a silky smooth chocolate ganache that is sinfully sweet, yet light enough to not weigh you down. It is a delicious way to end a meal.
