Chocolate Almond Torte
My Clovis girls and I share recipes and thought I'd just put this weeks on the blog since it was a special occasion. Here you go!
8 oz semisweet chocolate
3 tbsp. water
1 c. brown sugar
3/4 c.butter
2/3 c. ground almonds
3 tbsp. self rising flour
5 eggs separated
powdered sugar for dusting
fresh whipping cream
grease a 9 in loose-bottomed cake pan
melt chocolate on low heat with water. add sugar and butter in small amounts until combined. remove from heat and stir in the ground almonds and egg yolks one at a time.
whisk egg whites in a large bowl and then gently fold into chocolate mixture. pour in prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
let the torte cool and chill before serving. it's normal for the top to be cracked and somewhat sunken in the middle sometimes.
dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream.
