Chocolate… who doesn’t love it?! It’s National Chocolate Day here in Canada, and I have just the recipe for you! This Chocolate Almond Torte was a hit at Thanksgiving, and has been requested for an upcoming birthday. This simple, flourless, gluten free treat made with just a few ingredients.
Chocolate Almond Torte
- 100 g Dark Chocolate (70%)
- 1 1/2 sticks butter roughly chopped
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup almond flour/ground almonds
- 1/8 tsp salt
- cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease the bottom & sides of a 9 inch springform pan. 2. Place chocolate & butter into a medium heat proof bowl & set bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the water doesn't touch the bowl), stir occasionally until melted & set aside. 3. In a large bowl, place egg yolks & 1/4 cup sugar and whisk by hand for a minute until combined. Stir in chocolate mixture, almond flour & salt. 4. In a mixing bowl fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk egg whites & remaining sugar on high until thick, soft peaks form. 5. Using a spatula, fold 1/3 of the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture until combined. Fold in the remaining mixture in 2 additions until combined. 6. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan & smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes - insert a toothpick into the center, and if it comes out with moist crumbs it's ready! Allow to cool on a wire rack, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until completely set. 7. Sift cocoa powder over cake before serving. (Serve chilled or at room temperature) 8. Cake will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days if well wrapped. It also freezes well. Enjoy!
