Flourless Chocolate Petit Four Cupcakes

A deliciously light flourless chocolate cake, this recipe is great for those who cannot eat wheat, and for everyone else too! The cakes will rise up quite high like a soufflé, and then sink down again as they cool. The crackly appearance lends to their charm. The cupcakes are adorable topped with little piped blobs of chocolate buttercream, but you could omit the icing and dust with cocoa powder or icing sugar instead, if you like.
