Since my son was diagnosed with coeliac disease it’s been an epiphany to discover recipes like this one, which mean dietary restrictions don’t necessitate a life of deprivation. But even if you’re not on a gluten-free diet you’ll love this cake. It’s just good-quality chocolate (ideally at least 70 percent cocoa solids) held together with eggs, sugar and almonds. It ends up with a crust on top, which may crack a little – this isn’t a mistake, it’s part of the charm.
