I see you had a wheat-free chocolate torte last week. I just made a similar cake for a birthday party where some of the guests were on a GFCF diet, but it was a little different:

4      oz.   unsweetened chocolate
12     Tbl.  margarine
1 1/2  cup   granulated sugar
5            eggs
3/4    cup   cocoa powder

1. Grease bottom and sides of an 8" square pan.  Place a sheet of wax paper in bottom and grease the top of the wax paper.

2. Preheat oven to 350.

3. In a double boiler, melt chocolate and margarine.  Remove from heat and mix in sugar.

4. When chocolate mixture cools somewhat, add eggs, one a time, whisking in.

5. Whisk in cocoa powder and pour batter into prepared pan. 

6. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.

For low-carb diets: substitute the sugar with your choice of low-carb or no-carb sweeteners -- the entire recipe has 32 net carbs plus whatever sweetener you add. (E.g., 1 1/2 cups of Splenda would add 36 net carbs. I personally recommend a mixture of sweetened liquid fiber and granulated sugar alcholols.)
