Ingredients
- Makes: One 9 inch cake
- Ingredients
- 1 1/2 sticks butter – cut into pieces
- 8 oz. Good dark chocolate – I like 60-70% cocoa – broken into pieces
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 3/4 c. brown sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tsp. Almond Extract
- 1 c. ground almonds (grind in food processor)
- 1 Tbsp. Flour
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. Cocoa
- Powdered sugar and cocoa for dusting
Preparation
Step 1
Grease a 9 inch spring form pan.
Melt butter and chocolate together in a double boiler or in a bowl over boiling water. Mix well & cool down.
In a mixer bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, brown sugar, and almond extract.
Add the chocolate butter mixture, and incorporate well.
Add ground almonds, flour, and cocoa.
Mix together and pour into prepared pan.
Bake in a 350 degree oven until firm in the center – about 40 minutes. Time will depend on how hot your oven is. This is a very moist cake! Do not over cook it!
Remove sides of spring form and let cool.
Sift powdered sugar mixed with cocoa over the top of the cake.
Serve with whipped cream or berries.
Here is another serving idea – cut into squares.
