Chocolate and booze. In excess, both are detrimental to your health and waistline. But in moderation, they can be incredibly decadent!

My experience with gluten free or flourless chocolate cakes is that they either require almond flour, which can be expensive, hard to find, and complicates this dish for someone who has a nut allergy, or they are intense and dense and one or two bites is all you want before it feels too heavy. This cake is neither. No almond flour and it is surprisingly light. With just the right orange flavor and the bright raspberry sauce it is decadent and refreshing.

These are the infamous Momofuko Milk Bar cookies. They are complicated. They are time consuming. They are also probably the best cookie I have ever made. You can't take any shortcuts with this cookie. They are an investment in your time, but a worthwhile one.
