Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large eggs (separated, at room temperature)
3 large egg whites (at room temperature)
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
pinch fine sea salt
2 cups almond flour or almond meal ((200 grams))
1 cup mixed berries
powdered sugar (for dusting (optional))

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 9-inch spring form pan with nonstick spray, line with parchment paper, and flour (use almond meal or a gluten-free all purpose flour blend to keep the cake gluten-free).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and all but 2 tbsp of the sugar. Whisk until the yolks become thick and pale in color, about 1 minute. Whisk in the vanilla extract and the salt and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a standard electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or a bowl with a hand mixer), beat the 6 egg whites on medium speed until they become opaque, about 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, and continue to beat the egg whites until they hold medium peaks.
  • With a flexible rubber spatula, stir in about 1/4 of the egg whites to the egg yolk mixture (no need to be gentle here). Scrape the remaining egg whites over the yolks, and about half of the almond flour.
  • Gently fold them into the yolks, but only partially.
  • While the mixture still has a few streaks of white left, add the remaining almond flour and fold in, folding until you have a homogeneous batter. Be gentle!
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and shimmy until the batter is level.
  • Bake the cake for about 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and springy to the touch. Let the hot cake cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then run a butter knife along the edges of the cake pan.
  • Invert the cake pan onto the rack, remove the sides and bottom, and peel away the parchment paper. Turn the cake right side up and allow to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar, cut into 12 slices and serve with fresh berries.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the pan

3/4 cup coconut oil
1 1/3 cups almonds
2 cups cooked quinoa
1 cup coconut sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
8 ounces semisweet chocolate
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup raspberries, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
  • Place a medium saucepot on medium heat and bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a simmer. Place a medium bowl on top of the saucepot and add the semisweet chocolate and coconut oil.

Stir to combine the dry ingredients, then add the melted chocolate mixture, coconut milk, vanilla and eggs and mix until fully incorporated. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • For the ganache: Reheat the water in the saucepot over medium heat to bring to a simmer. Place another medium bowl over the water and add the semisweet chocolate and coconut milk. Using a heatproof spatula, stir the chocolate until fully melted and combined with the coconut milk.

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE & ALMOND CAKE



Flourless chocolate & almond cake image

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:

  • Use almond flour for a gluten-free option. Almond flour is a great substitute for all-purpose flour in this recipe, making it a great option for those with gluten sensitivities or allergies.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a springform pan for easy removal. A springform pan is the best type of pan to use for this cake because it allows you to easily remove the cake from the pan without breaking it.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help the cake to set and firm up.
  • Serve the cake with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for chocolate almond pudding cake include whipped cream, ice cream, fresh berries, and chocolate chips.

Conclusion:

This skinny chocolate almond pudding cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is gluten-free, low in calories, and packed with flavor. Whether you are looking for a special treat for a party or a simple dessert to enjoy at home, this cake is sure to please everyone.
