Caprese Cake

Roast the almonds in a pan without fat, then remove from the pan. Break the chocolate into pieces and melt them in a warm water bath. Separate the eggs. Cream the butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt until fluffy. Gradually stir in the egg yolks, then stir in the roasted almonds and melted chocolate. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites and lemon zest into the batter. Pour into a greased springform pan (26 cm diameter) and smooth the surface. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C on the second rack from the bottom for 45 minutes. Serve lukewarm or cold. Dust with powdered sugar shortly before serving. Serve with vanilla sauce or semi-whipped cream and fresh berries.
