Quick and Healthy Chocolate Cake With Almonds and Orange Peel

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almonds
  • 3 tbsp wholemeal flour
  • 1 1/4 cup dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 orange
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a round cake pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Put the almonds in a blender / food processor and grind well so that you get almond flour.
  • Mix almond flour with wholemeal flour.
  • Melt the chocolate with the olive oil in the microwave for 2 minutes, or by using a double-boiler.
  • Grate the orange peel in the chocolate and when it cools down a bit, add the egg yolks and honey into this mixture.
  • Mix the egg whites with a mixer until you get a foamy structure, then stir them with the chocolate part. Stir slowly with a spatula and make sure you don't over-mix it.
  • In the end, add the almonds and wholemeal flour to the prepared mixture. Stir well to combine and pour into your round cake pan.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • If you enjoy decorations, pour a little melted chocolate on top and sprinkle with coconut flour.
