Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
- Line the base of a 20cm-diameter springform tin with greaseproof paper and butter the sides.
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl sitting over a saucepan of simmering water.
- Place the amaretti biscuits, almonds, sugar and orange zest in a food processor, then whizz until the biscuits and almonds are almost finely ground .(not too fine).
- Add the butter and eggs, whizz until blended, then add the melted chocolate and briefly whizz again until well combined.
- Pour into the prepared tin and pop straight in the oven.
- Cook for 35-45 minutes until the cake is puffed and slightly cracked around the edges.( test with a skewer after 35 minutes, it should come out clean)
- Remove and leave to sit for 15 minutes before carefully transferring to a plate.
- The top is quite crisp, and cracks easily, dust it with lots of icing sugar or cocoa powder before serving, to hide any imperfections.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out anything like the picture. It was flat and dense, and the chocolate frosting was grainy.

[email protected]This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the chocolate frosting was way too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

[email protected]The cake was good, but I found the amaretti cookies to be a bit overpowering. I think I would use fewer cookies next time.

[email protected]This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
