Double chocolate torte

I don’t quite know why I’ve never shared this recipe of mine before.  It’s a good-en!  Like the rest of life, it was an experiment that worked.  So here goes today – this glorious Friday, my Double Chocolate Torte!

Ingredients

Base:
1/2 cup of almond meal
1tbs cacao
1 cup of buckwheat flour

    Hi Nat,

    I love this and am keen to make it.
    Just wondering what size was your spring form pan? How many cm?
    I think my spring form pan is bigger than the average and that will cause it to be really shallow/low as a cake so just wanted to double check. Maybe I can use another pan or a friend’s.

    Thank you!
    Linda

      I have a small one and a large one. The small one is approx 15 cm and the larger maybe 25cm? I use the larger one mostly but the smaller one is great when I make it for a gift!

    Hi Nat! For the base do you mean coconut oil or the white coconut butter that looks more like a coconut cream?
