Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Lovely cake, and yes, I was surprised my toddler ate the small piece I gave him; it is more of an "adult" dessert as caitmcg mentions. I made this for my husband's weeknight birthday, and with the almond-chocolate mixture and egg whites prepped during lunch, it was a quick cake to pull together. Mainly, though, I chose it because I had two large bars of unsweetened chocolate that I bought in a tizzy at the beginning of the pandemic that had been languishing in my pantry. This cake uses a whopping 7 oz. :)

    So simple to make, with such a sophisticated flavor. Definitely more of an "adult" dessert. Also flourless and gluten and dairy free, so a great choice for those with dietary restrictions.

    An amazing rich flourless torte made by grinding unsweetened chocolate, sugar, and almonds together, bound with eggs whites. A perfect rich ending to a meal.
