Elevate it further with a homemade strawberry or raspberry syrup and fresh berries. Baked in a springform pan for elegant presentation, this cake also freezes beautifully for future enjoyment.

How to Make Almond Chocolate Cake No Flour

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a food processor, combine 2 ½ cups whole almonds, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar (or equivalent raw honey), and a pinch of salt. Process until finely ground.
  3. Add 6 large eggs one at a time, processing until just combined after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted.
  5. Add the melted butter mixture to the almond mixture and pulse to combine. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 78 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing the sides of the springform. Chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
  9. Serve chilled with your favorite ice cream, fresh berries, and/or a homemade fruit syrup.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
