Perfect for those who are gluten-free or simply looking to treat themselves to a sophisticated dessert, this cake is both simple to make and irresistibly delicious.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
If using whole almonds, grind them into a fine powder using a food processor. If you already have almond meal or flour, you can skip this step.
Remove from heat and let the chocolate-butter mixture cool to room temperature.
Gently fold in the almond meal (or ground almonds) until evenly incorporated.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with some moist crumbs clinging to it, not completely dry.
Once cooled, carefully run a knife around the edge of the cake before releasing the springform pan. If you used parchment paper, carefully slide the cake onto a serving plate.
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before mixing; this will help it blend more smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Roast the almonds beforehand to bring out their natural oils and enhance their flavor.
- Be sure to let the cake cool completely before serving to allow it to set properly.
- You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top or serve with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of elegance.
With its rich chocolate flavor and texture, this flourless chocolate and almond cake is sure to become a favorite. Following these tips will help ensure that your cake comes out perfectly every time. Enjoy it as a special treat with family and friends or as an indulgent finish to a dinner party.
