Do you know that mellow sensation when you give a bite to a gorgeous brownie? That’s what I felt when trying out this cake. Perfect for not feeling guilty about enjoying an amazing sweet dessert.
I literally have no idea how this baked good came out from my mind. I wanted to bake some almond cookies at start. But then the eggs I used were too big, I did not have enough almonds to grind for compensating and the final mixture resulted very moist, impossible to shape in a cookie.
It was so good, I had to prepare it twice during the week, as my husband made it disappear too quickly for even taking pictures. Use some dark chocolate in case you find the white being to sweet (this is me indeed) and substitute the egg whites with acquafaba in case you need this being vegan. I’m serious when I say this is a BOMB!

I do have a scientific mind, probably it’s the reason why I love to hide in the kitchen and start creating.
