Expert tips
Use SUPER FINE almond flour
Do not use almond meal instead – almond meal is much more coarser and also contains almond skin. So, the cookie texture and taste changes.
If using unsalted butter, then reduce salt.
Don’t have springform pan? Use a regular 9 or 8 inch pan instead. Grease the pan well and line both bottom and sides with parchment paper.
Storage instructions
Store flourless almond chocolate cake in a sealed container at room temperature for few days.
To freeze – Place cooled cake recipe in a ziplock bag, seal and freeze for up to 3 months. Simply leave cake at room temperature overnight to thaw completely.
