Directions
Flourless Chocolate-Almond Cake, This is a cross between a brownie and a chocolate bar, a decadent rich chocolate cake with an amazing texture This is the ultimate after dinner dessert sprinkled with powdered sugar, drizzled with a chocolate glaze or topped off with a dollup of whipped cream It can also be made in a 9-inch cake pan instead of a springform pan This can be made a day ahead but is better served the same day it is made, if you prepare a day ahead, cover and leave at room temperature You will love this decadent chocolate cake!, Easy, fun to make, and delicious to eat used dark chocolate but otherwise followed the recipe exactly You could probably play around by adding any spice you like, ie cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or allspice But I wanted to try the recipe as written and get the pure chocolate/almond flavour Would make it again
