Ingredients:
- 110 grams of butter
- 2 large eggs
- 100 grams of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or paste
- 70 grams of cornstarch or potato starch
- 70 grams of almond flour
- 150 grams of mixed dark and white chocolate chunks
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) using the convection setting.
- Gently melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat, stirring until it turns a nutty, caramel color. Be careful not to burn it. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs and gradually add sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, then gently fold in the cornstarch, almond flour, and a pinch of salt, excluding the chocolate for now.
- Chop the chocolate coarsely. Toss the chunks in a little cornstarch to prevent sinking and add them to the mixture in stages.
- Pour the batter into a lined baking tray. Scatter most of the dark chocolate on top at first, and towards the end of baking, sprinkle the white chocolate to prevent burning.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes. The center should still be slightly soft when checked with a toothpick. Let cool for two hours at room temperature before slicing.
- Slice into 14 pieces and enjoy!
