Gluten-Free Almond Cake with Dark Chocolate Drizzle — Method (English)

🔸 1. Preheat & Prepare
Preheat the oven to 170°C fan (190°C / 375°F). Grease and line a 20 cm springform cake tin with parchment paper.

🔸 2. Whisk the Egg Yolks
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, almond extract (or vanilla), and lemon zest until pale and slightly thickened.

🔸 3. Add the Dry Ingredients
Gently fold in the ground almonds, baking powder, and half of the salt until combined.

🔸 4. Whisk the Egg Whites
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with the remaining salt until soft peaks form (not stiff peaks).

🔸 5. Combine the Mixtures
Fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the almond mixture to lighten it. Then gently fold in the rest in two batches.

🔸 6. Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

🔸 7. Cool the Cake
Leave the cake in the tin for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.

🔸 8. Melt the Chocolate
Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together over gently simmering water (or microwave in short bursts), stirring until smooth.

🔸 9. Decorate
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cake in a zig-zag pattern. Let the chocolate set before serving.
