Equipment

Spring form pan

Ingredients

6 ounces 170 gms semi sweet chocolate chips or bar I recommend a good quality chocolate such as Ghiradelli
½ cup 1 stick, 115 gms unsalted butter

Dry ingredients

2 cups 200 gms super fine almond flour
¼ cup 20 gms cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Additional ingredients

2 large eggs
1 cup 200 gms sugar
½ cup 120 ml milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F (177° C).
Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Place chocolate chips and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 40 to 60 seconds or until mostky melted. Remove bowl from microwave and stir until fully melted. Set aside.
Whisk all dry ingredients in a medium bowl, until thoroughly combined.
In another larger bowl, add eggs and sugar. Whisk for about 2 minutes, until creamy and smooth. If using an electric beater, beat for not more than 1 minute.
Pour the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture and whisk until thoroughly combined.
Using a rubber spatula or spoon, stir in half the dry ingredients, followed by milk and then remaining dry ingredients, until well combined.
Transfer batter into prepared pan, bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a tooth pick inserted in the middles comes clean. Cool completely.
To remove the cake, gently run a small knife around the edges to loosen it from the pan, then unlatch and remove.
Slice and serve with whipped cream.
