Chocolate almond cake

5.0 / 5 FROM 2

This flourless cake is not too heavy but is still luscious. Serve it alone with cream or fresh berries or make a simple berry coulis from frozen fruit.

Ingredients

200 g Dark chocolate, chopped
180 g Butter
¾ cup Caster sugar
2 tsp Vanilla extract
6 Eggs, separated
1 Tbsp Cocoa powder
1½ cups Ground almonds

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 170C. Grease and lightly flour a cake tin.
  2. Melt the chocolate over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir gently until the chocolate becomes smooth.
  3. Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla until pale.
  4. Add the egg yolks one at a time with a spoonful of chocolate. Fold gently after each addition until the chocolate has been used.
  5. Whisk the egg whites to a soft peak.
  6. Sift the cocoa and ground almonds together. Fold all ingredients together.
  7. Spoon into the baking tin and cook for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer is removed clean.
