Step 1
Position a rack to the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
Step 2
In a heat-proof bowl, combine 113 grams of semi-sweet chocolate, 170 grams of unsalted butter, 165 grams of granulated sugar and 28 grams of dutch-processed cocoa powder.
Step 3
Place this bowl in a medium pot with a few inches of water in it. Bring the pot to a simmer and use the double boiler method to melt all of the ingredients together. Stir often, and if it looks a bit grainy, don't worry.
Step 4
While that is melting, zest as much orange zest as you can and set aside. Add two tablespoons of fresh orange juice to a large bowl. Add the egg, egg yolk, 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of orange zest and whisk together to combine.
Step 5
When the chocolate mixture is fully melted, pour a few tablespoons into the egg mixture to help temper the eggs so they don't curdle. Whisk that together, add a few more tablespoons, whisk together again, then pour the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Add 120 grams of almond flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and stir into a batter.
Step 7
Chop up the remaining 113 grams of semi-sweet chocolate and add it to the batter. This is crucial for a crispy-crackly top!
Step 8
Pour the batter into a parchment-lined 9-inch tart pan.
Step 9
Using either a blender or a spice grinder, pulse 1/4 cup of rosemary leaves into a fine, aromatic powder. This should leave you with about 2 tablespoons of finely ground rosemary.
Step 10
Add the remaining orange zest, ground rosemary and 2 tablespoons of turbinado sugar to a small bowl. Use your fingers to press the sugar, rosemary and citrus together. It should become a bit more wet and smell amazing.
Step 11
Sprinkle this sugar on top of the cake.
Step 12
Bake the cake at 350°F for 25-27 minutes, or until the top appears dry.
Step 13
Let the cake cool for 20-30 minutes before slicing! Serve with ice cream, salt and olive oil on top (optional, but so so good).
