Izzie and I prefer milk chocolate, so I&#8217;ve made a small one, half a portion to make it manageable and not to waste too much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, to start, 130 g of dark chocolate got melted and slightly cooled. 2 egg yolks and 1 whole egg whipped into thick goodness with 105 g caster sugar. 2 egg whites whipped separately. 125 g of ground almonds. All of those gently combined baked in my smallest, round tin, lined with baking paper for about 30-35 minutes in 180 degrees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once cooled, some raspberry jam was smeared all over the cake before the ganache( 60 g of the same chocolate and 60 ml of double cream) was generously applied all over the cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was tasted shortly after Florek&#8217;s favourite carbonara. The sounds he was making convinced me it was a good use of time and ingredients. As for me, I&#8217;m not blown away, might have a piece later while watching GBBO semifinals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2020\/11\/20201116_165244-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2932\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2020\/11\/20201116_165244-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2020\/11\/20201116_165244-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2020\/11\/20201116_165244.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I accidentally made a gluten free cake yesterday.
