Ann's Amaretti Cake

This cake is more like a brownie, because it is not made with flour, but amaretti cookies and almonds. Melted chocolate is added in to enrich the flavor. I chose to submit this cake because it is my daughter, Ann's, favorite and it is also her birthday on July 5th.

Ingredients

For 8 Person(s)

For the Cake:

3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup baby amaretti cookies
4 ounces unsalted butter, room temp
2/3 cup sugar
4 large eggs

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9-in springform pan with nonstick spray & refrigerate
In a small bowl, microwave chocolate chips, stirring every 20 seconds until melted and smooth.
In a food processor, combine almonds and cookies, pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl.
Then, add butter and sugar to the processor and blend until creamy.
With the machine still running, add the eggs one at a time. Then proceed to add nut mixture and melted chocolate. Pulse until all is blended.
Pour the batter into the pan. Bake until the center puffs, about 35 minutes.
Cool cake for about 15-20 min, then transfer to a platter.

Recipe Notes

After cooled, I often sprinkle powdered sugar on top with some sliced strawberries to add a little something extra.
