Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Pulse 1 cup almonds in a food processor until finely ground, then add 6 oz melted dark chocolate and 1/2 cup softened butter; process until smooth. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
  2. Step 2: Beat 4 egg whites until soft peaks form, gradually add 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and beat until glossy. Gently fold into the chocolate-almond mixture until fully combined.
  3. Step 3: Pour batter into the chilled pan and bake for 35 minutes until set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool completely in the pan before removing.
  4. Step 4: Simmer 1 cup fresh raspberries with 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat for 8 minutes until thickened and reduced; strain to remove seeds. Drizzle over the cooled cake before serving.
