You could try this also. Pretty rich. And you may want to leave out the Cointreau.

INGREDIENTS
250g dark chocolate, minimum 70% cocoa solids
125g unsalted butter, softened
6 eggs: 2 whole, 4 separated
175g caster sugar
2 tablespoons Cointreau (optional)
Grated zest of 1 orange (optional)
23cm springform cake tin
FOR THE CREAM TOPPING:

500ml double cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon Cointreau (optional)
1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder for sprinkling
METHOD Serves: 8-12.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4.
Line the bottom of the cake tin with baking parchment.
Melt the chocolate either in a double boiler or a microwave, and then let the butter melt in the warm chocolate.
Beat the 2 whole eggs and 4 egg yolks with 75g of the caster sugar, then gently add the chocolate mixture, the Cointreau and orange zest.
In another bowl, whisk the 4 egg whites until foamy, then gradually add the 100g of sugar and whisk until the whites are holding their shape but not too stiff.
Lighten the chocolate mixture with a dollop of egg whites, and then fold in the rest of the whites. Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cake is risen and cracked and the centre is no longer wobbly. Cool the cake in its tin on a wire rack; the middle will sink as it cools.
When you are ready to eat, place the still tin-bound cake on a cake stand or plate for serving and carefully remove the cake from its tin. Don't worry about cracks or rough edges: it's the crater look we're going for here. Whip the cream until it's soft and then add the vanilla and Cointreau and continue whisking until the cream is firm but not stiff.
Fill the crater of the cake with the whipped cream, easing it out gently towards the edges of the cake, and dust the top lightly with cocoa powder pushed through a tea-strainer.

Hi there,
my partner is gluten free, and we do a lot of gluten free cooking. I used to cook for a living, so we have an idea or two about cooking gluten free.
Its not really that different, you can make nearly any recipie gluten free, just by substituting the wheat flour for a mix of non-wheat flours. I generally use 2/3 white rice flour, 1/3 potato flour and tapioca flour. And i use the same amount as what it says in the recipie for the wheat flour. The non-gluten flours are avalible at "bin-inn", moore wilsons, or common sense organics (2 times the price of the other shops)
i havnt actually made a GF chocolate cake yet, but if you want i can google a few recipies and post up what i recon would be a good one.
