This flourless cake is light and delicious. Save Pin Print ellipsis More. Image zoom. Recipe Summary prep:. Cook's Notes Cut the paper liner before making the batter, but do not spray and line the pan until the batter is ready; this will prevent the spray from pooling in the bottom of the pan.

Reviews 7. Rating: Unrated. This recipe, made just as written, does not resemble the photo, more like baked marzipan with a bit of an almondy crust.

I'm sure the more accomplished cooks on this forum have lots of good suggestions for this. Next try I'm going to mix sliced almonds in with ground almond mixture.

I will also layer the top of the cake with sliced almonds, that will then form a crust when it's inverted. Wrap the outside bottom and sides of the pan with aluminum foil to prevent leaking.

Place chocolate and butter in a medium heat-proof bowl and microwave in 20 to second increments, stirring between each, until melted. Set aside.

Stir in chocolate mixture, brandy, almonds, and salt. Using a spatula, fold one-third of egg white mixture into chocolate mixture until mixed.

Fold in remaining mixture in 2 additions until combined. Pour batter into prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.

The cake should be set on the sides but still wobbly in the center. Allow to cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours until completely set.

Sift cocoa powder over cake before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Cake will keep, well wrapped, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

It also freezes well. August 29, Chocolate Banana Tart with Nutella. Peanut Butter Blondies. Reply Rosie August 30, at pm This is such a great looking cake, the texture looks perfect!

Reply Shiran January 14, at pm Almond flour and ground almonds are the same thing, just different names for the same product. Reply Hussein January 14, at pm Thank you so much!

Reply Alice March 26, at pm Hi! Have you ever made the recipe x1. If so, do you know baking time and temperature?

Reply Shiran October 1, at am Hi Neetika, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top, or drizzle the top with salted caramel sauce , but not too much because the cake is already rich.

Reply Marianne March 29, at am. Reply Neetika October 7, at pm Hi Shiran.. When I returned home, I searched for that same flavor and texture.

Your recipe hit the mark. Thank you. Since January 1, I have baked at least two dozen 6-inch tortes — your recipe makes two — a few for my wife and me, plenty for gifts.

This morning I wrote an unpaid review for LorAnn Almond bakery emulsion, the product that I use in place of almond extract. You can find it at Amazon, for the LorAnn product.

I included your URL. I gave the almond bakery emulsion a five star ating, just as I give your recipe. Thanks, Mom.

Mac — 74 and counting. Thanks so much! I am so glad you love it too and I appreciate the info about the emulsion. I definitely need to check out.

Also, I live in Portland, Do you remember the name of the bakery. It was soooooooooo good. I let guests take the leftovers otherwise I will eat the whole thing!

I saw a recipe for something that was in German but I could tell it was a torte. The center looked Goodyear than this one and it seemed to be higher.

It looked soooo good. Do you know of anything like this but with a creamer inside. So glad you enjoyed it!

Just curious, could you freeze this after cooling for another day? Pour the mixture onto a piece of baking paper, sprinkle with salt and lemon before the batter sets.
