Chocolate cake is for breakfast today, because it’s New Year’s Eve and she travelled all the way from mamma’s kitchen in Switzerland. Recipe to come in 2014. Now time to set some new intentions for a fresh new year. Happy New Year!
Turns out 2014 has been a busy one thus far, and apparently we’re playing hard to get. Thirty days later, and a few days after National Chocolate Cake Day (how did we not know about that??), here’s the recipe. In our defense, we had to convert the recipe from Swiss German and the metric system…

7 oz. dark chocolate (70%)
1/4 cup espresso
1 1/3 sticks butter, softened
7 oz. amaretti cookies, ground finely
3.5 oz almonds, crushed

1/3 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
