Valentine’s Day Recipes Part 2!!!

If you’re still looking for a few sexy, and flirtatious Valentine’s Day recipes, then we have more for you!  We have been whipping up some decadent sweets!

Espresso Chocolate Cake

This recipe was inspired by an online cooking course that I have been taking at the world’s leading online school Rouxbe. When I finish with the course, I will have a certificate in plant based cooking.  I’m almost finished.  Yay!!   We test recipes every week and I loved this cake.

It is made with tofu which is quite unusual for me instead of cream.

But when I took a bite of this cake, it was a Wow!!  It was delicious, moist, and filled every desire I had for chocolate cake. It is simple and healthy, and with tofu being the base of the cake, you can serve it to your kids or loved one’s without them knowing. The secret will stay between us!

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 12 people

Ingredients

  • 7 ounces best-quality dark chocolate
  • 7 ounces unsalted European-style butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 375º F, and butter a 9-inch springform cake pan. Line the base of the pan with parchment, and butter.
  • Chop the chocolate and melt if in a double boiler (I use a metal bowl over a simmering pan of water), stirring continuously. You can also melt chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 15 seconds or so. Once the chocolate melts, add the butter, and keep stirring until both are fully melted. Add the sugar, stir to combine, and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Add the eggs one at time, mixing very well after each. Once batter is smooth, mix in all remaining ingredients.
  • Pour batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for about 25-35 minutes depending on your oven. You’ll know it’s ready when the top just starts to get crackly and the center no longer jiggles.
  • Let the cake cool in its pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove springform top carefully.
  • Serve in wedges warm or room temperature with ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!
