Almond cake

Dialogue in bed in the evening - my husband explains to me that we actually should have had a big New Year's Eve celebration. "Huh?" Well, because of the 5,000 days! "Huh?!?" Well, we had been married for exactly 5,000 days on New Year's Eve!!! "Huh?!?!?"

So today we have been married for 5,005 days and to celebrate our 5,005th. On my wedding anniversary I spontaneously baked this extremely chocolaty chocolate almond cake for my husband!

Ingredients

200 g butter
200 g sugar
200 g chocolate
200 g almonds
6 eggs

1 Tbsp oil for greasing the Bundt cake tin

Whipped cream and, if desired, fresh berries for serving


Preparation

Put the butter, sugar and chocolate in a saucepan and slowly melt it over medium heat, stirring thoroughly until a uniform mixture is formed. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool down.

Grind the almonds fairly finely.

Put the butter-sugar-chocolate mixture in the pot with the ground almonds and eggs...

...mix into a smooth dough.

Then put the finished dough into a well-greased Bundt cake tin...

...and let it bake in the (not preheated) oven at 350 °F (180 °C) upper and lower heat for about 60 minutes, ...

...until the dough is done (stick test).

Then take the finished cake out of the oven, let it cool down and carefully remove it from the baking pan.

Then serve the cake with plenty of whipped cream and, optionally, fresh berries.
