Almond cake with cherries and chocolate
Description
The recipe won't take much time. In Austria, this almond cake with cherries and chocolate is known as Hörbiger (named after an Austrian film star from the 1940s to the 1960s). This berry almond cake has a very delicate texture, as it's baked without flour or baking soda. The base consists of almond flour, sweet white chocolate, and breadcrumbs. Today I'm sharing the recipe. Serve it cooled or slightly warm.
