I’ve enjoyed exploring flour-less recipes lately as well as roughshod inwards dearest amongst the view of a chocolate torte made amongst almonds.   You’re right, I create dearest me some fudginess!  I also dearest the combination of chocolate with tart raspberries.  I was inspired my multiple recipes as well as ended upwards amongst my ain as well as am really pleased amongst the terminal results.

Add the egg yolks as well as 3/4 loving cup saccharide to the bowl of a mixer.  Beat until the egg yolks run pale as well as the mixture is thick.

Slowly compaction inwards the chocolate mixture as well as the vanilla or almond extract.  I dearest almond but intend it would live on swell amongst vanilla too.

Beat until the mixture is smooth.

Transfer the chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl as well as flexure inwards the Earth almonds (I used Bob’s Red Mill Ground Almond Flour).    Set aside.  Wash the mixing bowl as well as attach the whisk to the mixer.

Beat the egg whites inwards the construct clean bowl until the are foamy.  Start adding the remaining 1/4 loving cup saccharide slowly.

Beat until the whites class soft peaks.

Gently flexure (don’t stir) inwards 1/4 of the egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture.  Once blended, add together the remaining egg whites.

Pour the batter into a prepared 9-inch spring-form pan as well as bake at 350 degrees for well-nigh l minutes.

Check for doneness past times inserting a molar selection into the center.  H5N1 trivial moist crumbs on the toothpick volition live on great.  Don’t over bake!

Remove from the oven as well as allow the cake to cool completely earlier removing from the pan.

Dust amongst powdered saccharide as well as serve amongst the cooled raspberry sauce as well as sweetened cream if desired.  Refrigerate left overs if y'all bring any!

This is a delicious, rich, flour less, chocolate cake.  I similar it!
