Rich Chocolate Almond Tea Cake
( Click image for enlarged view ) I wanted to prepare chocolate truffles but the chocolate seemed to be too rich with cocoa flavor with a mild bitter taste which didnt suit us so I modified it to make a rich chocolate cake.It came out very well and it is also my first chocolate cake !! I was pleasantly surprised I didnt have to throw it away n could make another dish that balanced the bitterness of cocoa powder n its tasty too for chocolate lovers like my hubby. Ingredients: 5 oz unsweetened chocolate bar (Bakers Brand)1/2 cup grounded almond1/2 cup all purpose flour1/2 cup milk1/4 cup oil2 tbsp butter3/4 cup sugar2 eggs1/2 tsp vanilla extract1 tsp almond extract1/2 tsp baking powder1/4 tsp baking soda1/4 cup finely chopped almonds (optional) ( Click image for enlarged view ) Baking procedure Preheat oven 350 F. Break the chocolate into pieces n melt it with almond n vanilla extract in a bowl set over sauce pan of hot water. Stir until well blended. Now add butter to it n stir till it melts. Mix all purpose flour with baking powder, baking soda n grounded almonds nicely. In another bowl beat the eggs and sugar for 3 min with a hand blender with medium speed till it become fluffy.Then add oil,milk and again blend till it all mix nicely.Then chocolate sauce to it n stir with spatula. Take the flour and slowly add to the above mixture and stir till it blends properly .This can done with hand blender or even with a spatula.
