Cake Batter

Sift flour with cocoa powder and baking powder; set aside. Cut almond paste into cubes and mix with sugar in your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. When it becomes smooth, add eggs gradually and mix until homogenized (swap paddle for whisk). Add milk and the sifted powders. Add toasted almonds and hazelnuts, pistachios, and chocolate disks or chips, and then add the melted butter. Fill up prepared mold.

Baking

Preheat oven to 350ºF/175ºC. Bake chocolate cake for about 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Unmold and cool on wire rack.

Chocolate Glaze

Melt chocolate gently over water-bath. Bring heavy cream to a boil, remove from the heat and mix in chocolate and cocoa powder using an immersion blender. Use at about 104ºF/40ºC. Enjoy!
