Servings: 8 slices
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups (190g) almond flour (2 cups)
- ~1 cup (190g) granulated sugar divided
- 6.7 ounces (190g) bittersweet chocolate 50-80% cacao
- 13 1/2 tablespoons (190g) butter cubed and softened to room temperature
- 4 large eggs separated and at room temperature
- confectioner's sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter or cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Over a double boiler, melt the chocolate. Once melted, remove from the heat and add the butter and continue to stir while the butter melts.
- Add 3/4 cup of sugar and almond meal and continue to stir until combined.
- Once the mixture has cooled, add the egg yolks and stir until combined.
- In a separate clean bowl, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites for 30 seconds, then add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and beat on high until they reach medium peaks.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate batter a third at a time.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and level with a spoon or offset spatula. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. It does not need to be completely dry.
- Allow the cake to cool in the tin before removing the springform and dusting lightly with confectioner's sugar. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use a springform pan that's greased and lined with parchment paper for best results.
- Use good quality bittersweet or extra bittersweet chocolate for the best results.
- This recipe was written for a conventional oven. For convection ovens, reduce the temperature by 25 degrees and begin checking for doneness at the 75% mark.
