Ingredients

• 100 grams Ground almonds
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 50 grams Butter
• 100 grams Dark chocolate (gluten-free)
• 100 grams Daim candies
• 200 milliliters Whipping cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed, for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Fold in the ground almonds and vanilla extract gently, using a spatula, until just combined.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the top is golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.

Step 6

While the cake cools, prepare the topping. Chop the dark chocolate and Daim candies into small pieces.

Step 7

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped dark chocolate, stirring continuously, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 8

Remove from heat and let the chocolate mixture cool slightly.

Step 9

In a separate bowl, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks, then gently fold it into the cooled chocolate mixture until smooth and glossy.

Step 10

Spread the chocolate mixture over the cooled cake evenly and sprinkle the chopped Daim candies on top, pressing them slightly into the chocolate layer.

Step 11

Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate layer has set.

Step 12

Remove the cake from the pan, slice, and serve chilled. Enjoy your Gluten-Free Daim Cake!
