How to Make Flourless Chocolate Scandinavian Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a 9-inch springform cake pan.
Melt 6 ounces (170g) of bittersweet chocolate, 6 tablespoons (85g) of unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup (60ml) of milk in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large egg yolks and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar until pale and thick.
Gently fold in the cooled chocolate mixture until just combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (120g) almond flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
In a clean, dry bowl, beat 6 large egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate batter in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing the sides and serving.
Serve with whipped cream and dust with cocoa powder, if desired.
Optional: Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the almond flour for a spiced variation.
Optional: Add 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract to enhance the almond flavor.
