An Italian snack built around dark chocolate and butter — on the table in 55 minutes.

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 8 oz Dark chocolate
• 10 tbsp Butter
• 3/4 cup Sugar
• 4 Eggs
• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1/4 cup Cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar

Steps

1. Melt the chocolate with the butter until glossy and smooth, then cool slightly — hot chocolate scrambles eggs.
2. Whisk the eggs with the sugar until pale and thick, about 3 minutes. This is the only lift the cake gets; there is no flour and no leavening.
3. Fold the chocolate into the eggs, then fold in the almond flour and cocoa just until combined.
4. Pour into a buttered and cocoa-dusted springform pan.
5. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes, until the edges set and the center still trembles slightly. It firms as it cools.
6. Cool completely, dust with powdered sugar, and serve in thin slices. Dense, dark, and naturally gluten-free — born on Capri by happy accident.
