Instructions:

- In a heatproof bowl, combine the white chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate.
- Melt the mixture over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, dry cocoa powder, cinnamon, and finely ground almonds. Ensure there are no lumps and everything is well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until it becomes creamy.
- Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Slow down the mixer speed and gradually add the melted chocolate to the butter and egg mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in the dry ingredients mixture using a spatula. Ensure everything is well incorporated but avoid over-mixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can decorate the cake with additional melted chocolate, almonds, or festive Easter decorations if desired.
