Valentines Day Recipe: Flour-less Chocolate Cake

With Valentines Day coming up next week, I wanted to share a recipe for the perfect chocolate cake to make for someone you love :) And this is probably the most delicious chocolate cake that I have ever tasted! My sister & I attended our first cooking class last week, where we learned to make this yummy treat. Hope you enjoy :)

1 cup melted butter (diced)
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate (chopped)
1 TBS espresso powder
1/4 cup cocoa powder
