lady-friendly cakes

I found a lovely recipe last week for Chocolate Souffle Cupcakes with Mint Cream.
Usually, I steer clear of gluten-free recipes. I would rather bake a batch of cookies the way they're "supposed to be" and share them with others and perhaps have some fruit (okay, chocolate or ice cream) myself.
But this recipe was exciting. Flourless chocolate cakes! Why hadn't I thought of this sooner? Because they were prepared like a souffle, seperating and beating the eggs before baking, they were not as dense as other flourless treats, and a touch of peppermint extract balanced out the cream topping perfectly. And the best part, of course, was that I was able to partake.

Find the recipe (and a much, much prettier version of the cupcakes) here.
