Chocolate and Almond Cake (Gluten Free)
- Ready In:
- 55mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
1 9" cake
ingredients
- 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
directions
- 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.
