Place butter in a small sauce pan and heat on low until melted. Set aside.
2.30 oz butter
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs together with the granulated sugar, almond flour, black cocoa powder and almond extract. Mix until combined.
3 eggs, 4.23 oz granulated sugar, 5.30 oz almond flour, 1 tsp almond extract, 0.53 oz black cocoa powder
Pour the batter into the Medium Round Mold. Use your spatula to flatten the surface.
BAKE!
Bake for 15 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cake from 12 minutes). It is ready when the toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean with little to no crumbs.
Once your black almond cake is out of the oven, let it cool down for 15 minutes before demolding onto a cooling rack. NOTE:If you are making them a day ahead, simply wrap them in plastic and store in the refrigerator.
Once it has cooled down use the coffin cookie cutter to cut your 10 coffins. NOTE:I like to dice the scraps to enjoy as a small snack. They are also perfect to make cake pops! Set aside.

3.83 oz butter
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs together with the granulated sugar, almond flour and almond extract. Mix until combined. Set aside.
5 eggs, 5.29 oz granulated sugar, 8.81 oz almond flour, 2 tsp almond extract
ASSEMBLY
Place 5 coffins at the center of the mold. With this recipe, you will only use 2. Then fill the sides and the top just enough to cover the hidden coffin. NOTE:It is very important when placing the coffins to hold them straight ; the batter around it will hold it together.
Bake for 15 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cake from 12 minutes). It is ready when the toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean with little to no crumbs.
Once your almond cakes are out of the oven, let them cool down for 15 minutes before demolding onto a cooling rack. Once they have completely cooled down, add a bit of melted chocolate on top along with a few halloween sprinkles. Enjoy! "BONE" Appétit & Happy HALLOWEEN!
