Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Recipe with Fewer Ingredients
In this recipe for a delicious chocolate cake, we use plenty of almond powder. Originally, it was a recipe for a chocolate cake called "Torta Caprese," which is made on the Italian resort island of Capri. However, I simplified the ingredients to make it easier to prepare.
How to Make Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake
Separate the eggs into yolks and whites and place each in a separate bowl.
To make meringue, gradually add 50g of granulated sugar into the egg whites in three separate portions while whisking.
Add the melted chocolate and butter, and mix them together.
Add half of the granulated sugar (50g) to the egg yolks and mix well with a whisk until they become pale and frothy.
Add melted chocolate and butter and stir to combine.
Add almond powder and stir to combine.
English: Gradually add the meringue to the egg yolk mixture in 2-3 portions and gently fold them together using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate the air bubbles.
Bake at 170°C (340°F) for approximately 45 minutes. To check if it's done, insert a bamboo skewer into the center, and if it comes out clean with no batter sticking to it, it's ready.
Gluten-free and moist
This cake recipe results in a very moist texture due to the absence of wheat flour. The dough settles and becomes even more moist after the day following the baking. During the summer, refrigerating and eating it chilled is also delicious.
Furthermore, if you add liqueurs such as rum or amaretto, it enhances the moistness and flavor even more. Feel free to try adding them to your liking!
