Instructions
Cake
- Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter and line the bottom of it with parchment paper. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the 1 3/4 cups of chocolate with the butter over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in the vanilla, then let cool completely.
- Add the eggs and sugar to the bowl of your mixer and beat until light and fluffy. Gradually stir in the chocolate, ⅓ at a time, until well blended. Pour into the prepared pan.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the cake is lightly cracked, about 45 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake from the pan. Let cool.
- Once the cake has cooled, remove it from the pan. Invert the cake onto a serving plate. Set aside.
Ganache
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir the whipping cream with the corn syrup over medium heat until almost simmering. Reduce the heat to low and add in the remaining chocolate. Continue stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Pour ganache over cooled cake and spread it to cover the cake completely. Press almonds around the edge of the cake.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour before slicing and serving.
