Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

It is super quick and very moist, as it is made without flour

Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it together with the butter over a hot water bath. Then stir in the sugar, almonds, baking powder, vanilla sugar, salt, and finally the eggs. If the batter is very runny, stir in 2-3 tablespoons of flour if necessary. Pour the chocolate batter into a 26 cm diameter springform pan lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (convection: 140°C, gas mark 2) for about 40 minutes. After cooling, the batter should still be slightly sticky on the inside. To decorate, cut 1.5 cm wide strips from the paper, place them on the cake, and dust everything with powdered sugar. Carefully remove the strips. Tip: I brushed the outside of the cake with hot apricot jam (microwaved) and, once it had dried, covered it with chocolate coating.
