Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and powdered sugar (50 g) until light and fluffy. Add the almond powder, butter, icing sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into an even layer in a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes. Once done, let the cake cool completely.
-
In a heatproof bowl, combine the milk chocolate (180 g), honey, and liquid cream. Melt the mixture over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth and glossy. Cover the ganache with cling film (pressing it directly onto the surface) and let it cool to room temperature.
-
Melt the milk chocolate (150 g) in a bowl. Stir in the crushed almonds and sunflower oil until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled cake base.
-
Once the ganache has thickened slightly, spread it over the cake as desired. Decorate the cake with additional toppings if desired. Slice and enjoy your delicious creation!
