Dorie Greenspan is one of the most celebrated cookbook authors and bakers in the world. She has written several award-winning books, including “Baking: From My Home to Yours”. This recipe for her Lisbon Chocolate Cake is a classic that has been popular for decades. The combination of dark chocolate, almonds, and cinnamon make for a rich, moist cake that is sure to be a hit at any gathering.

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces dark chocolate
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup blanched, sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, then line the bottom with parchment paper.

Melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave or in a double boiler. In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the melted chocolate/butter mixture and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the almonds.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack and let cool completely.

Once the cake is cool, make the topping. Heat the cream in a small saucepan until just boiling. Pour the cream over the chopped chocolate and let sit for a few minutes. Whisk together until smooth, then pour over the cooled cake. Let the topping set for a few minutes before serving.
