Ingredients
- 1 pound almond meal
- 1 pound granulated sugar
- 1 pound unsalted butter softened
- 8 large eggs separated
- 1 pound dark chocolate melted
- 1 pound apricot jam
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and half of the sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gently fold in the almond meal until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar and continue beating until glossy.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the almond mixture until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans before removing.
- Once cooled, spread a layer of apricot jam on top of one cake layer.
- Place the second cake layer on top and spread melted dark chocolate over the top and sides of the cake.
- In a bowl, mix powdered sugar and vanilla extract to make a thick icing. Drizzle over the cake for decoration.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
