Baking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C / 392° F
- Break the chocolate into chunks and melt it slowly in a bain-marie.
- Meanwhile, line a 24cm / 9inch round cake pan with baking paper or grease it real well.
- Add the butter to the chocolate. Let it melt and carefully stir it in. Once it's fully incorporated, take off the heat and set aside.
- In a big bowl whisk the eggs and sugar until foamy (for at least 5min).
- Add the almonds, baking powder and cinnamon.
- Finally add the chocolate-butter mixture and carefully stir it in.
- Fill evenly into the cake tin and bake for 25min on the middle rack or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool for a bit before you take it out of the tin. Dust with confectioners sugar and chocolate shavings before serving.
Notes
Try to use high quality chocolate for it and not only baking chocolate. The original recipe my Mum gave me didn't call for any baking powder. I tried it many times without and it came out great but that little bit of baking powder in this recipe makes the cake just a bit fluffier.
