  • 140 g Unsalted almond butter

  • 4 pieces Egg, fresh

  • 160 ml Milk, whole milk

  • 100 ml Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 185 g Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose

  • 65 g Cocoa, powdered, unsweetened

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Grease a long metal baking pan (30 cm in length) with butter. In a bowl, mix the flour, cocoa, and baking powder.

  2. In a larger bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the sugar, salt, and almond butter. Once the mixture becomes smooth, gradually add the eggs one by one while mixing. Reduce the mixer speed and slowly pour in the milk and oil in a thin stream. Sift the dry ingredients into the egg mixture and mix everything on low speed until you get a smooth batter without lumps. Finally, add the chopped nuts and chocolate chunks to the batter. Quickly mix everything with a spatula.

  3. Pour the prepared batter into the greased pan. Spread it evenly and smooth the top. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. The cake is done when it feels firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  4. Remove the baked cake from the oven. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack and cool to room temperature.

  5. Serve the cooled cake on a plate or platter. Before serving, you can drizzle it with a chocolate glaze and decorate as desired. Slice the cake and serve with a cup of warm beverage.
