Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Melt them together using a double boiler method. To do this, place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth. Once melted, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Using a food processor or a blender, grind the almonds until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined. Then, gently fold in the ground almonds until fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
While the cake is baking, prepare the white chocolate sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer (do not let it boil). Remove from heat and add the white chocolate pieces. Allow the white chocolate to sit in the hot cream for a minute, then stir until smooth and fully melted.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve the cake warm, drizzled with the white chocolate sauce.
Tips:
- Make sure to use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Don't overmix the batter as it can make the cake dense.
- Bake until the edges are set but the center is still slightly moist for a gooey texture.
This warm chocolate cake is a perfect end to any meal, offering a rich and satisfying taste that is sure to please chocolate lovers. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. Follow these tips to ensure that your cake turns out perfectly each time.
