CHOCOLATE ALMOND TORTE

You can’t go wrong with almonds and chocolate. What makes this cake different is a chocolate base with layers of almond flavour coming from almond flour, sliced almonds, almond extract, and almond oil instead of butter.

This cake is soft with a crunchy top and a soft chewy centre. Defiantly a crowd pleaser.
