For an even more intense chocolate flavor, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter. To toast the almonds, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden. A glaze of dark chocolate ganache or a dusting of powdered sugar makes a beautiful finishing touch. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal emulsification and a smoother batter. Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to a tough cake.
