You Will Need (7 things)

  • 125 g Dark Chocolate
  • 100 g Butter
  • 4 g Instant Espresso Powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 125 g Sugar
  • 3 Egg(s)
  • 130 g Ground Almonds

Steps (6 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 160ºC(=320°F). Grease an 6.5- or a 7-inch round cake pan.

  2. 2

    Then break the dark chocolate into pieces and melt it together with the butter in a mixing bowl. Let it cool down a little bit.

  3. 3

    Combine the espresso powder, salt and sugar in a second bowl. Then add the mix carefully to the chocolate-butter-mix under stiring.

  4. 4

    Put the eggs into another bowl and cream quickly with an electric mixer until fluffy. Stir in the almonds. Then combine the egg-almond-mix and the chocolate-mix under stiring.

  5. 5

    Put the dough into the greased cake pan and bake the cake for 20 minutes. Then cover the cake with aluminum foil and bake the cake for further 30-40 minutes.
    (Don’t worry, the cake remains REALLY FUDGY! That’s alright.)

  6. 6

    Let the cake cool down until you can get it out of the pan.
    Put the cake on a plate into the fridge until it’s totally cooled down.

    P.S. If you want to decorate the cake a little bit, you can melt some chocolate and cover the cake. Also colorful sprinkles or some strawberry slices would look good on it, I think.

    Ready! ;)
