Steps for preparing the flourless almond and chocolate cake
Coarsely chop the dark chocolate. Place it in a bowl with the coffee and cubed butter. Melt everything in a bain-marie or microwave. Stir well and let it cool.
Separate the eggs, keeping whites and yolks apart. Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, gradually adding half of the sugar. Then beat the yolks with the remaining sugar until they are light and fluffy.
Add the chocolate mixture and almond flour to the yolks, and mix. Add a pinch of salt. Gently fold in the egg whites, mixing from bottom to top.
Pour into a 9-inch springform pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F, static, for 40-45 minutes. Let cool and serve.
Storage
Store the cake for two or three days under a glass dome.
