Ingredients
- 200 g almond flour
- 50 g cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 4 large, separated eggs
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 150 g dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 50 g chopped almonds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 23cm (9-inch) springform pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and 100g of sugar until pale and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
Gently fold the dry almond mixture into the egg yolk mixture until just combined.
Step 5
In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 50g sugar and continue whisking until the peaks are stiff and glossy.
Step 6
Carefully fold the egg whites into the almond batter, one-third at a time, using a spatula. Be gentle to maintain the airiness.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then release the springform and let the cake cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 9
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt the dairy-free dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil, stirring constantly until smooth.
Step 10
Spread the melted chocolate mixture over the top of the cooled cake. Sprinkle the chopped almonds evenly over the chocolate layer.
Step 11
Place the cake in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set the chocolate before serving.
Step 12
Slice and enjoy your Dairy-Free Daim Cake!
