Many specialty grocery stores (in our area) have individually sized gluten-free desserts in the bakery case. When looking for such a treat at our Sprouts Market, I found a flourless chocolate cake with a Sprouts label. It was very small and $2.99, but that is actually pretty reasonable for gluten-free treats.
Since the cake was cold, I let it sit on the counter for a while before trying it for dessert. One bite was all I needed to decide it wasn't great and my husband wasn't overly impressed with it either. We put the rest of the cake in the fridge and decided to taste it again later.
The second taste test involved heating the cake slowing in the microwave which greatly improved the taste and texture. However, it's a much better value to buy the larger Trader Joe's flourless chocolate cake, cut it in small slices to freeze and pull out as needed. And the TJ's cake is extremely delicious cold, warm or at room temperature to boot! It even beat out the killer Godiva cheesecake (my personal fave!) at our holiday partly last December for number of pieces scarfed down ;)
