[@gorgonzolaboy5959]

I live in Naples, near Capri, and this is practically the exact same recipe we Italians use. Great job my friends 👌👍💯 it looks great 😎

[@momforfreedom9191]

Would you say that most Italians grind the almonds themselves!? My great-grandparents are from Apice Italy and I’ve noticed a “do it the hard way” mentality in my family. 😆😁😝

[@davidreali9642]

[@FutureCommentary1]

Naples near Capri is not Italy? Sorry just curious. You say practically same recipe that Italians use as if you are Italian?

[@haywarddaryl]

I made this for my wife for mother's day. Just a tip, my older mixer took closer to ten minutes to whip the whites. Thanks for the great recipe!

[@thaller5033]

I saw this video about 6 weeks ago and decided to try it. Best cake ever! So good and easy to make, I made it again 2 weeks ago

[@KeepieUppie10]

Lovely recipe. Very easy to make. Had all ingredients at hand but less chocolate. Didn't use as much sugar (around 30g less) and didn't use vanilla extract. Came out perfect. Was ready around 45 minute mark for me.

[@christinahutchison3967]

You are my hero. I was taught to put a touch of salt in all my cooking by my grandfather who was an amazing cook. It makes such a difference for the better but a lot of people don’t understand that.

OOOKAY! This is flourless chocolate cake on steroids! I made it to as a test run before making it and taking to a holiday party next week... It's a WINNER! It's lite, it chocolatey, it's decadent. There is a lot of elements to it but you can throw it together quite quickly if you're organized..

[@uiscepreston]

We simply mustn't talk about how hot Keith is. Cake Daddy indeed.

[@moose8846]

No thanks

[@MoPoppins]

Maybe it’s cuz I’m from LA, where there’s so much narcissism, but I seem to always subconsciously be surprised whenever an attractive person isn’t ALSO a narc. Keith is so genuinely nice, that I feel like I’m experiencing cognitive dissonance…lol. He must be Midwestern by upbringing or something (or Canadian?). 😆 Definitely not of LA origin. Then he’d turn out like Adam Levine. 🤮

[@momforfreedom9191]

Making this today, but I decided against buying the almond flour or meal. I just ground whole almonds in my food processor, but since I don’t want it to turn into almond butter, I’m stopping at what seems to be “almond meal” consistency. Is it all right that there are teeny tiny pieces of almonds that crunch when I taste-test? Or should I keep grinding the almonds!? I wish that was discussed in the video. .... Anyway, I LOVE all the sweet comments about Keith. 😁👍🏼

[@jerseygrl5]

I am so going to make this. Can't eat gluten and love chocolate cake!

[@desrtangl]

Reine de Saba from Julia Child. Chocolate Almond cake from Paul Hollywood's How to bake. Paul Hollywood just makes a chocolate ganache to pour on top. So good!

[@mustacheforever68]

- 6 oz 60% chocolate chopped - 12 tbsp unsalted butter - 1 tsp vanilla extract Separate 4 eggs. - 1/2 cup granulated sugar w/ whites - 1/2 cup granulated sugar w/ yolks - 2 cups almond meal - 2 tbsp Dutch processed cocoa - 1/2 tsp table salt

[@dwreid55]

Four tips for making this: 1. NEVER just dump sugar on top of egg yolks. It CAN "burn" the egg yolks and cause them to become grainy. Always add sugar as you whip the yolks. 2. If you spray the bottom of your pan, then add a disc of parchment paper, then spray again, it will never stick to the pan and will always slide right off, saving you the risk of damaging your cake. 3. (Humorous observation) Whipping egg whites separately from the yolks is something that has been known for hundreds of years. I'm pretty sure that America's Test Kitchen didn't "discover this". 4. If you add an 1/8th tsp of cream of tarter to your egg whites when you whip them they will whip more quickly and retain their loft better. This will in no way change the flavor but makes the batter easier to fold without losing so much of the "rise".

[@patriotamerican62]

I like a pretty simple recipe. I think I try it.

[@sahej6939]

Amazing! My dream cake 🍰 love it with an espresso and whipped cream… can we do hazelnuts or walnut instead of almond meal?

[@joer5627]

[@DraconiaProductions]

I could imagine modifying this recipe just slightly to make a perfect keto cake recipe 😋

[@wam0357]

Which sugar replacement and how much would you use for the 1/2 cup sugar?

[@DraconiaProductions]

@@wam0357 There's a bunch of different sugar replacers that measure the same as sugar, ones that use stevia, monkfruit, etc. The only difference would probably be the reaction they would have when combining them with your mixture. That would take some testing to get a similar result to the one in the video.

[@Littlebit31]

Same

[@holly_kay5570]

[@nschultz417]

America's Test Kitchen provides a lot of food science to explain how and why their food is so good. It's one more reason why they are the best cooking show ever.

Hi, I know you said almond meal or flour doesn’t make a difference in taste. What about texture? Would the flour make it more / leas dense because it’s so fine? Thanks! Can’t wait to make it.

Can ground toasted Walnuts be used in place of almond meal or almond flour?

[@jacquibossier9808]

Yum!

[@MrDrivingFaster]

Pro tip: cheat the recipe by adding half a cup of cake flour. It makes a fluffier cake, without affecting the overall taste.

[@stephen6307]

then it is no longer gluten free which is important for folks with gluten intolerance

[@samsungfilament5361]

Does anyone have any ideas on how to implement Strega in this recipe? Just replacing the vanilla extract seems like it wouldn't be enough, but I'd be worried about the batter being too wet if I just added more (other recipes that use it have 2-3tbs versus the 1tsp vanilla here)

[@sherriek3476]

[@sarahjames9456]

You say 2 cups of almond flour and then you turn around and say about 7 ounces which is it?

[@bruzote]

Just a by-stander here, but could those ounces be WEIGHT, not volume? Perhaps 2 cups volume of almond flour works out to about 7 ounces by weight?

[@blueeyedbehr]

two cups might be 7 ounces when spooned into the measuring cup. because flour can weigh differently whether it's spooned, sifted, or scooped, always go by weight.

[@heidid5275]

Couldn't you use baking powder or even baking soda as a leavener?

[@wam0357]

no, the eggs being whipped is your leavening or "rise" effect. I guess you could experiment by adding some, but IMO you should still follow the technique of seperating the eggs, whipping them, and then folding the eggs in.
