How to Make a Chocolate Almond Cake

From the creator

How to Make a Chocolate Almond Cake I took Julia Child's amazing Reine de Saba avec Glaçage au Chocolat (Chocolate Almond Cake), and put my spin on it. I made it a two layer cake and added an amazing marzipan buttercream filling. Rich cake, almondy center with dark chocolate on top. Must make, must eat! Ingredients: For the Cake: 4 ounces or squares semisweet chocolate melted with 2 Tb rum or coffee 1/4 lb. or 1 stick softened butter 2/3 cup granulated sugar 3 egg yolks 3 egg whites Pinch of salt 1 Tb granulated sugar 2/3 cup pulverized almonds 1/4 tsp almond extract 1/2 cup cake flour (scooped and leveled) turned into a sifter For the Icing: 4 ounces semisweet baking chocolate 1/2 cup coffee 5 to 7 Tb unsalted butter For the Filling: 1/2 cup grated marzipan 1 stick salted butter 1 cup confectioner’s sugar 1 tablespoon hot water
