Hi Lindsay !
first, your recipes is soooo good ! i really love the texture of your chocolate cake !!  For this one, the only thing is that i had waayy too much frosting left. But i used it for another cake ;). But for the cake itself, very good ! 
My question is, do you have any recipe without eggs ??? my daughter has an allergy :( 

thank you ! :)

I made this cake for my family and it was the best cake we’ve ever eaten! Thank you so much for this great recipe!

This chocolate cake recipe is really perfect! The moistest one I have ever made. I made a coconut Swiss buttercream with this instead of the American buttercream as the recipe is written, and it was perfect - and not overwhelmingly sweet. I also used unsweetened coconut flakes in the filling to cut down on some of the sugar that is already in the condensed milk. Would totally make this again.

I made this for my adult daughter’s birthday. She requested raspberries and almond with a light frosting so this fit the bill! We all loved it. The only thing I wasn’t sure of was how many holes to poke. The condensed milk seemed to fill the holes and the raspberry purée seemed to stay mostly on top. But it was delicious! 

This is my favorite tarta de Santiago recipe, a popular Spanish almond cake that is typically made in Galicia.

Spanish Almond Cake (Tarta de Santiago Recipe)

almonds

sugar ((250 g))

lemon

cinnamon

tbsp liquor

Powdered sugar (to dust)

fruit

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C)

Pulse the almonds in a food processor until finely ground, however be careful not to turn the mixture to almond butter by over processing.

Beat the egg and sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy.

Add the lemon zest, liquor, and cinnamon.

Fold in the ground almonds using a rubber spatula.

Grease a 10 inch (25 cm) springform pan with butter and pour in the almond cake batter.

Bake for about 30 minutes, until the cake is golden brown. Test with a toothpick and if it doesn&#039;t come out clean cover the cake with aluminum foil and bake for five more minutes, then test again. Do this one more time if necessary (for 40 minutes in total).

Allow the cake to cool in the pan, and then transfer to a serving dish.

Decorate with powdered sugar, if you wish you can download a printout of the emblematic cross of Saint James.

This Almond Amaretto Bundt Cake is soft, moist, and full of delicious almond flavor. It's so easy to put together and so hard to resist!

Almond Amaretto Bundt Cake

(168 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature

(310 grams) sugar

(173 grams) sour cream

(325 grams) all purpose flour

tsp salt

(180 milliliters) milk

(60 milliliters) amaretto

tbsp (28 grams) salted butter

(69 grams) sugar

tsp honey

(86 grams) powdered sugar, sifted

almonds,

Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) and prepare a 10-14 cup bundt pan with non-stick baking spray.
2

. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light in color and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Do not skimp on the creaming time.

. Add sour cream and almond extract and mix until well combined.

. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined after each. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated.

. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then combine the milk and amaretto in a small measuring cup.

. Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until well combined. Add the amaretto mixture and mix until well combined. Add remaining dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated.

. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for about 38-42 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.

. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.

. To make the icing, combine all the icing ingredients except for the powdered sugar in a small sauce pan.

0. Heat on low until sugar is melted, then turn heat to medium to bring to a boil.

1. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat and immediately pour into a heat-proof glass bowl.

2. Whisk in the powdered sugar and allow to cool slightly and thicken. If you find your icing to be a little thick, just add a touch more water to thin it back out. If it’s too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.
13

Drizzle the icing over the cake while the icing is still a little warm. It will be too firm to pour and get a nice drizzle if it cools completely. Top the cake with some sliced almonds, if desired.

Love this cake!!  Super easy to make and fell right out of the pan, no sticking. I added more powdered sugar to the frosting than it called for because I like a viscous glaze that drips slowly down the cake. It actually appeared whiter after it dried but that could also be due to the additional powdered sugar. 

I toasted some raw almond slices a bit before sprinkling them on top. Not only does this cake look beautiful, the fragrant almond scent along with the delicious taste and texture of the cake make it a real winner!!

A soft, moist amaretto and almond cake that’s full of flavor!

Get ahead this weekend and make this indulgent, freezable treat, perfect for pud or with a cup of tea

Raspberry bakewell slice

pack sweet shortcrust pastry

raspberry jam

frozen raspberries, just thawed

flaked almonds

apricot jam

butter, very soft,

golden caster sugar

ground almonds

self-raising flour

eggs, beaten

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line the base and sides of a buttered traybake tin, about 18-20cm x 30cm, with baking parchment. Roll out the pastry to line. Lift into the tin and evenly press right into the corners. Prick with a fork and chill for 20 mins.

Bake the pastry for 8-10 mins until it‘s cooked but not too coloured. Cool for a few mins and turn down the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Dot the raspberry jam over the pastry (there's no need to spread) and scatter over the raspberries.

For the sponge, put all the ingredients into a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until soft and very well mixed. Spoon this over the raspberry layer, then smooth evenly. Scatter over the flaked almonds and bake for 35-40 mins until golden and firm. Cool completely in the tin. Will freeze for up to 3 months – overwrap the tin with baking parchment and foil beforehand.

To serve, thaw for 4 hrs at room temperature, then reheat in a low oven. Melt the apricot jam with 1 tbsp water and brush over the top of the sponge just before serving.

cinnamon-orange blossom almond cake

Tbsp. unsalted softened butter,

coconut

kosher salt

lemon zest

eggs,

orange blossom water

Tbsp. confectioners sugar

Whipped cream (optional)

Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan, line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper, and set aside.

In a large bowl, stir together the almond flour, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and salt.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the sugar and lemon zest on medium-low until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the softened butter and keep beating, pausing to scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl and the paddle as needed, until the mixture is pale and fluffy, 4–5 minutes. Add the egg yolks and continue beating until velvety and smooth, 3–4 minutes. Add the almond extract and orange blossom water, then turn the mixer down to low and add the reserved almond flour mixture gradually, pausing to scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed, until fully incorporated. Remove the bowl from the mixer and set aside.

In a clean medium bowl, whisk the egg whites to glossy soft peaks, about 3 minutes. Using a spatula, gently fold the whites into the cake batter in 3 batches until fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, sprinkle evenly with sliced almonds, and bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, with a few crumbs, 60–70 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then remove, slide onto a wire rack, and continue cooling at least 30 minutes more.

In a small bowl, stir together the confectioners sugar and cinnamon. When the cake has fully cooled, dust the top surface with cinnamon sugar. Cut into slices and serve at room temperature. Leftover almond cake can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days.

This Cherry Almond Amaretto Ice Cream Cake is light, a little fruity, and full of almond and Amaretto flavor. It's the perfect summer dessert - and it's even yummier than you'd expect!
