Ingredients
 

ALMOND CAKE

  • 4 1/2 tbsp (65 g) butter (Melted)
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp (5 g) vanilla bean paste
  • 2/3 cup (150 g) almond flour

DARK CHOCOLATE GANACHE

  • 2 oz (55 g) dark chocolate chips (Melted)
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

ALMOND CAKE PREPARATION

  • Place butter in a small sauce pan and heat on low until melted. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together. Add the cooled butter, vanilla bean paste and almond flour. Mix until combined.
  • Pour your batter into your Flexipat®.

BAKE!

  • Bake for 40 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cake from 35min). It is ready when the toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once your Almond Cake is out of the oven, let it cool down completely in the mold before unmolding.

DARK CHOCOLATE GANACHE

  • Pour the heavy whipping cream into the Mini Round Mold and bring it just to a boil in microwave, about 30 seconds at a time. Add the dark chocolate chips and swirl to coat all chips. Allow to sit for 2 minutes, then stir. Pour on top of your cake and place your Halloween decorations. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
