Ingredients
- 125 g Butter
- 200 g Granulated sugar
- 1/8 tsp Salt
- 4 Egg yolks
- 250 g Almonds shredded
- 120 g All-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 150 g Chocolate chips semi sweet
- 4 Egg whites
- 1/8 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C. Line a 5x10 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Add the slightly softened butter, sugar, and salt to a large mixing bowl, and with a hand or stand mixer beat until fluffy and lighter in color.
- Then add the egg yolks, one at a time. Mix well in between each added egg yolk.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and almonds in a medium-size mixing bowl. Mix well and add it to the butter mixture together with the chocolate chips. With a wooden spoon, combine until well incorporated. The batter will be pretty dry and hard, so don’t worry you got the consistency right the batter will get wet again after adding the egg whites in the next step.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the egg whites with the salt until stiff and peaks form.
- Carefully fold the egg whites into the batter. Careful not to overmix, or you will end up with a running mess and a cake that will bake flat and caky.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf ban and spread it evenly.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. It is done when you stick a toothpick in the center of the cake, and it comes out clean without any batter on it. Let it cool for 20 minutes, then take it out of the loaf pan and place it on a cooling rack.
- Serve as is or drizzle melted chocolate over it or drop small chocolate chips all over the top.
Notes
This cake is even better the next day! Wrap it in aluminum foil and store it at room temperature.
