A ridiculously easy and quick to make cake-perfect every time! Everybody I have given this to loves it and crazes me for more-in fact I can't get through the door of my in-laws house without bringing them some! This is a no flour recipe so perfect for coeliacs. Ingredients:
35 g cocoa powder |
1/3 cup hot water |
150 g dark chocolate |
150 g unsalted butter |
265 g brown sugar |
1 cup ground almonds |
4 eggs |
Directions:
1. Grease and line a 19cm square cake pan.
2. In a large bowl combine cocoa powder and hot water until smooth.
3. Add melted chocolate, melted butter, sugar and almonds.
4. Stir well to combine.
5. Separate the eggs.
6. Stir in the egg yolks, one at a time.
7. Whip egg whites until they stand in soft peaks.
8. Fold the whites into the chocolate mixture.
