If you love brownies or dense chocolate cake you will love this recipe. Plus it includes that all important food group---chocolate I originally got this recipe from my friend Mary Z. but over the years I have modified it just a bit. I have been in many restaurants and eaten a similar tort but not quite as good as Mary's. You can decorate the top with a few chocolate dipped strawberries on top or chocolate dipped orange slices. A swirl of melted white chocolate also looks nice. I like to add a splash of raspberry liquor to the glaze to give it a hint of raspberries.      1 Cup Ground Almonds, use a food processor or blender to grind      3/4 Cup Sugar      3  Eggs      4 oz Semi-sweet Chocolate      1/2 Cup Butter      1/4 Cup Fine White Bread crumbs, not seasoned      1  Orange, zest of, use less if you desire      2 oz Baking Chocolate      1/4 Cup Butter      2 oz Semi-sweet Chocolate      2 teaspoon Honey      Instructions      1.  Preheat oven to 375F 190C.      2.  Butter an 8 inch 20cm round cake pan and line bottom with waxed paper and butter paper. Dust and flour or dust with cocoa.      3.  Melt chocolate and set to cool slightly. You can use your microwave or double boiler to melt the chocolate.      4.  In a small bowl cream butter and gradually add sugar mix at moderate speed until mixed.      5.  Add eggs to the butter mixture one at a time and beat well.      6.  Add slightly cooled chocolate, bread crumbs, and ground almonds mix at low speed until smooth. DO NOT over mix.      7.  Add grated orange rind and blend in.      8.  Pour into pan and spread level. Bake at 375F 190C for 25 minutes. Center of cake will be soft and moist.      9.  Cool in pan for 30 minutes on rack. Cut around edge to help in gently releasing the cake. Invert on a rack to completely cool. Place your cake on a nice serving plate for the glazing.      10.  After completely cool, make an pour on the glaze.      11.  For the glaze, melt the 2 kinds of chocolate, honey and butter stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove and when slightly thickened pour over the top of the cake. This gets a bit messy so place little pieces of wax paper under the edges of the cake to catch the drips.      12.  Before the glaze sets completely decorate with chocolate covered strawberries 3 on the top- middle are nice. You can also add whole almonds on top of the cake or slivered almonds on the sides of the cake. ©2000, RecipeDomain.com & MightyCool.com Inc. All right reserved.
