Nutty Chocolate Cake Recipe

Snuggles

I used to have a chocolate cake recipe from a student cook book, which I can no longer find.

If I remember rightly, there was no flour (or very little) in the recipe, but it included ground almonds and hazlenuts, and possibly walnuts. The resulting cake was absolutely delicious, really moist, nutty and chocalatey, and it kept very well. I find standard chocolate sponges a bit "dry" and boring.

Does anyone have a similar recipe?

Thanks,
Snuggles

reverie

There is a recipe here http://www.edgwareu.com/groups/?pageID=7.112 for one.

This was also featured (the exact same recipe) in Good Food Magazine some time ago. They served it as a pudding with whipped cream and a chocolate sauce (142ml tub of double cream warmed until just boiling, take off the heat and stir in 100g dark chocolate until melted.)

It looks sunken in the photograph in Good Food Magazine, so I assume that's how it's meant to be!
