Equipment

  • 9 inch springform pan
  • fine mesh strainer or flour sifter

Ingredients

  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, plus more butter for greasing the pan
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder plus more cocoa powder for dusting the pan
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or coarsely chopped chocolate
  • Powdered sugar for dusting optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees with a rack in the middle position. Grease a 9 inch springform pan and dust with cocoa powder. Set aside.
  • Add the butter, cocoa powder, brown sugar, granulated sugar and salt to a large bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  • Add eggs one at a time, fully incorporating one egg before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Sift the flour over the top of the cake batter and gently fold in by hand using a rubber spatula. Fold in the almond flour and chocolate chips.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the cake looks just set in the center, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pan until just warm or room temperature, at least 30 minutes. Remove the sides from the pan and serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

To Store:  Once the cake has cooled completely, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 24 hours.  If you plan to store the cake for longer than a day, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and transferring it to the refrigerator. The leftover cake can be enjoyed cold, at room temperature or warmed up in the microwave. All are delicious!
