Ingredients
  • For the Cake
  • 250 grams bitter almond cookies, broken into pieces (recipe see above)
  • 175 ml amaretto
  • 250 grams self rising flour
  • 200 grams dark chocolate (I used 70%)
  • 250 grams butter at room temperature
  • 200 grams light brown sugar
  • 5 eggs
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 175°C/345°F. Prepare a bundt baking form with butter and flour and set aside.
  2. Place the bitter almond cookies in a bowl and pour the amaretto and let soak for 10 minutes.
  3. Break the chocolate roughly and grind it in a kitchen machine. Add the amaretto soaked cookies and process till mixed, around 10-15 seconds.
  4. In a separate bowl whip the sugar with the butter till it is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one by one, making sure to mix well before adding the next egg.
  5. Sieve the self rising flour over the egg, butter and sugar mixture and fold in lightly. Next pour in the bitter almond-chocolate mix in and fold in quickly.
  6. Pour the prepared cake mix into the bundt form and place in the middle of the oven. Bake for an hour. The first 30 minutes place silver foil on top of the baking form. Remove foil and bake further for another 30 minutes or till a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out dry.
  7. Let the cake cool in the form for 10 minutes before inverting on a cake stand or plate. Let the cake cool for another hour or so. Dust with some powdered sugar and serve.
