A detailed recipe for a chocolate almond cake with blackberries.

Summary

Ingredients

• Sugar – 300 g
• Eggs – 9 pcs.
• Almond flour – 300 g
• Chocolate – 750 g
• Butter – 4 tablespoon.
• Blackberries to taste
• Creamy 40% – 3 cups

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven up to 180 degrees.
2. Grate the chocolate or grind it in a blender.
3. Whisk the yolks, sugar, and butter for about 3 minutes until smooth.
4. Add the grated chocolate and almond flour. Mix the mass until smooth and lumps are gone.
5. Whisk the whites until you get a thick mass.
6. Transfer the whites to the chocolate mixture in 3 rounds: first, add 1/3 of the mixture and mix it gently, then another 1/3 of the mixture and mix it, and then the last part.
7. Cover a baking tray with baking paper, grease it with oil, pour out the batter and smooth the surface.
8. Bake the cake for 20 minutes, check the readiness with a toothpick – if it comes out clean, it’s done.
9. Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool completely in the mold.
10. Make the ganache. Bring the cream to a boil and remove it from the heat.
11. Add the chocolate and butter. Leave it for 3 minutes and stir until smooth. Stir until the ganache is smooth and elastic. Allow it to cool down.
12. Pour 1/3 of the ganache onto the cake and let it set.
13. Cut the cake into three equal parts. Put them together into a single cake. Trim the edges to make an even cake. Then cut it into 2 equal pieces and combine it into a tall cake.
14. Then cover the top with the remaining ganache and decorate it with blackberries.
