Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup of dark chocolate or dark chocolate chips (about 4 ounce or 115 gr) 
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil ( 100 ml)
  • 3/4 cup almond flour (80 gr)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (14 gr)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (8 gr)  (you can also use potato starch, tapioca starch or arrowroot powder)
  • 1 tsp espresso powder or instant coffee mixed with 2 tbsp of water
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1/2 cup white sugar ( 100 gr)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper
  2. Place the chocolate chips and the oil in a large heat proof bowl and microwave in 20-second increments until melted, stirring with a rubber spatula every time
  3. Once the chocolate is melted, add the almond flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, espresso powder mixed with water, and a pinch of salt. Add the egg yolks and mix until well combined
  4. In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites for 2 minutes on high speed. Add the sugar and continue beating until  stiff peaks form ( the egg whites should stand on their own on the whisk attachment. Check the image on the post)
  5. Carefully fold the egg whites into the chocolate batter a little bit at a time in a slow, circular motion. Slowly mix the batter until no white streaks remain. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30 minutes
  6. Let the chocolate cake cool completely before enjoying it
  7. Sprinkle some powder sugar and top with berries (optional)
