Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Directions

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan.

2

Melt the Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl, melt the Valrhona 60% dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

3

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.

4

Combine Wet Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until frothy. Add the melted chocolate, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

5

Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.

6

Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7

Cool and Serve

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar.
