Ingredients

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C). Use a springform pan, maximum 9 inches (20-22 cm) in diameter. Grease the form with butter or coconut oil and fasten a piece of round parchment paper to the bottom.
2. Break the chocolate into pieces and dice the butter.
3. Melt together using a double boiler or the microwave oven.
4. Be careful — chocolate burns easily so stir often.
5. Once melted, stir until smooth and let the mix cool just a little.
6. Separate the eggs and put the yolks and whites in separate bowls.
7. Add salt to the egg whites and beat with a mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
8. Add vanilla to the egg yolks and whisk until smooth.
9. Pour the melted chocolate and butter into the egg yolks and mix well. Fold in the egg whites.
10. Keep folding just until you can’t see any white streaks from the egg whites.
11. Pour the batter into the springform pan and bake for about 15 minutes.
12. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick; it should come out with moist crumbs, not runny batter.

Note

• This easy spice cake is almond flour based cake with plenty of warm fall spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. It can be made with butter or a non-dairy oil like coconut. I topped mine with some chopped pecans and walnuts, and when it was finished, I served it with some lightly sweetened whipped cream. Simple and delicious, no need for sweet frosting or glaze.
