Cake
Description
The baking is simple and quick. 1. The recipe for the "Onyx" cake is quite easy. First, sift and grind the almonds into powder. Mix it with the sifted flour, baking powder, and baking soda. 2. Add two types of cocoa and mix thoroughly. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 eggs with a pinch of salt. Add water and vanilla extract. 4. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and beat well until no lumps remain. 5. Transfer the batter into a heatproof baking pan lined with parchment paper. 6. Bake the cake layer in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes. 7. Check doneness with a toothpick or skewer (when it comes out dry, remove the cake from the oven). 8. Melt chocolate and butter over a water bath. Add milk and, if desired, a bit of vanilla extract. Let the glaze thicken slightly, then remove it from the heat. 9. The homemade "Onyx" cake can be immediately covered with glaze, or you can let the glaze set a little first, then spread it over the cake and smooth it with a spatula. 10. If desired, you can cut the cake into portions right away, then reassemble it into the shape of a cake and cover it with glaze. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the glaze set properly. Serve with tea or coffee.
