Description

The recipe is designed for a baking tray with an approximate area of 9x13 inches.

Ingredients

Pitted Wild Apricots - 1.8 oz
Armagnac - 2 fl oz
Butter - 3.9 oz
Peeled chestnuts - 1.8 oz
Chocolate eggs - 2 pieces
Wheat Flour - 1.8 oz
Brown Sugar - 7.9 oz
Baking Powder - 1 teaspoon
Salt - ¼ teaspoon
70% Dark Chocolate - 1.8 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Soak the prunes in Armagnac and preferably leave them overnight (the longer they steep, the better).

Step 2

Chop the peeled almonds (you can buy unpeeled ones and place them in boiling water to easily peel them), then roast them in a dry skillet for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Whisk together the eggs, flour, sugar (the recipe calls for brown demerara sugar, but white sugar can also be used), baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler; once everything is melted, remove it from heat, mix well, and add the sugar, almonds, prunes soaked in Armagnac, and all the other ingredients—this will create a fairly liquid mixture. Pour it into the baking dish and bake at 338°F (340 degrees Fahrenheit) for 30 minutes.
