Provided by Sweet PQ

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 1 9" cake

Number Of Ingredients 8

200 g bittersweet chocolate (organic preferred)
150 g butter
150 g icing sugar
150 g almonds, ground
6 egg yolks
6 egg whites, whipped
1 tablespoon coffee, hot & black
1 tablespoon rum

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*. Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt it with the rum and coffee on top of a double boiler.
  • Put the butter, almonds and icing sugar into a pan and stir over "low" heat until the butter melts and the ingredients are well-mixed. Stir in the chocolate mixture.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the egg yolks thoroughly ( if the mixture is not cool enough the eggs will separate) and then fold in the egg whites.
  • Turn into a 9" springform pan that you have coated with cooking spray. Bake @ 350* for 45-60 minutes. The cake will still be moist in the middle when done, and is very "fragile" due to the absence of flour.

This dense, squidgy chocolate and almond cake is perfect for dessert. It's gluten-free - just ensure your cocoa powder and chocolate are, too

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

200g dark cooking chocolate, chopped into small pieces
200g butter, chopped into small pieces
3 eggs
175g golden caster sugar
100g mascarpone or soft cheese
¼ tsp vanilla extract
100g ground almonds
30g cocoa powder, plus extra to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and line the base of a 20cm springform tin with baking parchment. Melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of just-simmering water, or in the microwave in 20-second bursts. Stir, then leave to cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, tip the eggs and sugar into a second bowl and beat with an electric whisk for 4-5 mins, or until thick and creamy. Add the mascarpone or soft cheese and vanilla, and continue to beat until everything is combined. Lightly fold in the cooled melted chocolate mixture until everything is one even colour, then fold in the almonds. Sift over the cocoa powder and a small pinch of salt, and fold in to combine.
  • Scrape the cake batter into the prepared tin. Put the tin on a baking tray and bake for 35-40 mins until the cake is puffed up and has cracked on top. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 30-40 mins - it will deflate as it cools. Serve warm as a chocolate pudding, or leave to cool completely and enjoy as a fudgy brownie cake. Dust with extra cocoa powder before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality chocolate. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor until they are finely ground.
  • Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for the gluten-free flour blend.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you are using a store-bought frosting, be sure to check the label to make sure it is gluten-free.
  • You can decorate the cake with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
