Chocolate Almond Cake with Blackberries
Ingredients
- Sugar - 10.6 oz

- Almond - 10.6 oz
- Chocolate - 26.5 oz
- Butter - 4 tablespoons
- Serviceberries - to taste
- Cream (40%) - 3 cups
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 356°F.
Step 2
Grate the chocolate or chop it in a blender.
Step 3
Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and butter until smooth for about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the grated chocolate and almond flour, mixing until smooth and lumps disappear.
Step 5
Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Step 6
Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in 3 additions: first 1/3, gently mix, then another 1/3 of the egg whites and mix, and finally the last part.
Step 7
Line a baking tray with parchment paper, grease with butter, and pour in the batter, smoothing the surface.
Step 8
Bake for 20 minutes, check for doneness with a toothpick — if it comes out clean, it's ready.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
Step 10
Once the cake has cooled, run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan, press a large cutting board against the pan with the cake and flip it over so the cake remains on the cutting board, with the paper side up.
Step 11
Carefully remove the paper.
Step 12
Prepare the ganache: bring the cream to a boil and remove from heat.
Step 13
Add the chocolate and butter, let sit for 3 minutes, and stir until smooth. Continue stirring the ganache until the mixture is smooth and elastic. Let it cool.
Step 14
Pour 1/3 of the ganache over the cake and let it set.
Step 15
Cut the cake into three equal parts.
Step 16
Assemble them together, like separate layers into a single cake.
Step 17
Trim the edges for a neat cake.
Step 18
Then cut it into 2 equal parts and stack them for a tall cake.
Step 19
Finally, pour the remaining ganache over the cake, decorate with blackberries and edible flowers.
Step 20
Let it set and serve.
