1 c. almonds (160g, 5.5oz)
1 jar (7.5oz) GrownUp KidStuff® Chocolate Sauce; (Original, with Grand Marnier®, Hot!Chocolate, or Dairy Free.)
4 large eggs separated
1 c. sugar
1/8 t. salt
½ t. grated orange zest (optional)

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350º

Prepare a 9” round springform pan. Butter the pan, line with a circle of wax paper and butter the paper.

Toast the almonds for 8 minutes. When cool enough to handle, place in a food processor with
2 t. of the sugar and grind until fine.

Warm Chocolate Sauce in microwave 30 seconds at a time until pourable.

In a medium bowl mix the egg yolks and ¾ c. sugar. Add the warm Chocolate Sauce, the almonds and the optional orange zest. Set aside.

In a clean bowl beat the egg whites with salt until soft peaks form. Then add the remaining
¼ c. sugar and beat until stiff and glossy.

Fold the whites into the chocolate mixture in 3 additions.

Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean.

Cool in the pan. Remove the sides of the pan. Invert onto a rack, remove the bottom of the pan and peel off the wax paper. Invert again onto a serving plate.

Serve with sweetened whipped cream.
