Ingredients




185 gr butter
185 gr good quality dark chocolate
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 vanilla pod, seeds only
1 cup flour
2/3 cup selfraising flour
1/2 cup almond flour
2 pieces apples,  small chunks
tablespoon optional; cinnamon, approx. ½
3 eggs

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 180° C 2 Put the butter and chocolate in a double boiler and over low heat let them melt slowly together. Once melted take of the heat and let it cool slightly. 3 In a large bowl put the sugar, seeds of the vanilla pod and the eggs together and whisk until you have a light creamy mass. 4 Add the flour, selfraising flour and almond flour and combine until it becomes an even mass. 5 Add the melted chocolate/butter mix and stir until everything is completely combined. 6 If you want you can sprinkle the apple chunks with cinnamon prior to adding them to the batter. 7 Add the apple into the batter and mix well. 8 Line a baking tin with baking paper 9 Put the batter into the tin up to roughly 3/4. It's heavy batter so will not rise a lot. 10 Bake for about 35 minutes or until the top of the cake feels firm to the touch. 11 You can check with a wooden pin but keep in mind that it needs to be moist inside!
