Ingredients:
- 200g butter
- 150g caster sugar
- 4 eggs (separated into yolks and whites)
- 120g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 30g ground almonds
- 100g baking chocolate
Instructions:
| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cream butter and sugar together. In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and caster sugar. Cream together until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer. |
| 2 | Add in egg yolks. Once the butter and sugar are well combined, add in the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition. |
| 3 | Whisk egg whites until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This will help give the cake a light and airy texture. |
| 4 | Fold in sieved flour, ground almonds, egg whites, and the melted cooking chocolate. Sift the plain flour and baking powder into the butter mixture. Add the ground almonds and gently fold in the whisked egg whites. Finally, add the melted baking chocolate and fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. |
| 5 | Bake in a loaf tin for 350°F or 180°C for about 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to the specified temperature. Pour the cake batter into a greased loaf tin and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. |
| 6 | For the topping, melt 200g cooking chocolate over hot water and pour onto the cake. While the cake is baking, melt the remaining 200g of cooking chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth. Once the cake is baked and cooled, pour the melted chocolate over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. |
| 7 | Decorate with almond flakes and cherries. Sprinkle almond flakes over the melted chocolate topping, and garnish with fresh cherries for a delightful finish. Allow the chocolate to set before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Chocolate Almond Delight! |
