You are the only ones I've seen who don't use a stand mixer. Love that You are the proof that it's not necessary to have one of those to make amazing things. Just a hand mixer and some spatulas, and some wonders as a result. Thanks for the recipe

Thank you so much I really do have a gluten allergy. I haven't been able to eat good chocolate cake or a chocolate chip cookie in a very long time. I'm now excited to make this cake because I know everything you make is absolutely delicious

Do you think I can use erythritol instead of sugar? If so do you know how much? I am doing a Ketogenic diet and cannot have any sugar. But the rest of the cake I can

I have tried the recipe. and have to say it was a bit too sweet. I will make it certainly again but with 80-100 grams of sugar max. Otherwise, great cake.

As an italian, I suggest you to toast in the oven, or on medium heat, a little bit the almonds. It will bring much more flavour to the cake. Enjoy
