FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE-ORANGE ALMOND CAKE



Flourless Chocolate-Orange Almond Cake image

One of my friend's has celiac disease and cannot eat anything with gluten. Unfortunately for her, this usually means she cannot enjoy a lot of foods, particularly desserts, at gatherings. I made this cake with her in mind for our holiday party. It is rather time-consuming but definately worth it! The cake was rich and decadent and my friends really enjoyed it.

Time 1h40m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups whole almonds (about 6-7 oz.)
1 cup sugar, divided
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons fresh grated orange peel
6 large eggs, seperated
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise (or 1 tsp extract)
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Brush bottom of 10-inch springform pan generously with butter or margarine.
  • Blend almonds and 1/4 cup sugar in food processor until almonds are finely ground. Add chocolate; blend until chocolate is finely ground.
  • Whisk cocoa, orange juice and orange peel in small bowl until smooth.
  • In another bowl, combine egg yolks and 1/2 cup + 2 Tbs. sugar. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat until yolk mixture is very thick, about 4 minutes.
  • Beat in cocoa mixture. Fold in ground-almond mixture.
  • Using clean dry beaters, beat egg whites and salt in another large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add 2 Tbs. sugar, beating until whites are stiff but not dry.
  • Fold whites into chocolate batter in 3 additions. Transfer to prepared pan.
  • Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
  • Cool cake completely in pan on rack. If making a day ahead of time, cover with foil and store at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the cake. This will help ensure that the cake rises properly and bakes evenly.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch round cake pan. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.
  • This cake can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring it to room temperature before serving.
