Flourless Chocolate Cake with Almonds Recipe
  • Prep:15 min. Cook: 30 min.
  • Yield: 12 Servings
    •
15 30 45

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons trans fat free margarine
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup whole blanched almonds
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Sugar substitute equivalent to 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoons almond extract
  • 5 egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon slivered almonds, toasted

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Coat 9-inch springform pan with 2 teaspoons of the margarine or butter, and dust with the cocoa powder. (Don't tap out excess cocoa.)
  • In food processor, combine blanched almonds with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Process until finely ground.
  • In top of double boiler, over barely simmering water, melt chocolate and the remaining 4 teaspoons margarine or butter, stirring occasionally, until smooth.
  • Remove from heat. Place chocolate mixture in a large bowl. Add almond mixture, sour cream, sugar substitute, egg yolks, vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and 1/4 cup of remaining sugar. Stir until well-blended.
  • In large bowl, with electric mixer on high speed, beat egg whites and salt until frothy. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  • Stir one-quarter of the beaten whites into the chocolate mixture. Gently fold in remaining whites until no white streaks remain. Place in prepared pan. Gently smooth top.
  • Bake 30 minutes, or until cake has risen, the top is dry, and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Place pan on cooling rack and cool until warm. The cake will fall dramatically. Lossen the edges of cake with knife and remove pan sides. Sprinkle with toasted almonds, if desired.
