Notes

I think the notes people include in their recipes make them more personal. If I write a note myself about a recipe, it will always be written in purple.

Chocolate Cake With Orange Liqueur

5-1/2 ounces butter
12-1/2 ounces chocolate
6 eggs
6 ounces powdered sugar
2 ounces flour
5-1/2 ounces ground almonds
1 teaspoon baking powder

Melt butter with 7 ounces chocolate. Separate eggs. Beat the egg yolks with 2 ounces powdered sugar and add to chocolate. Beat the egg whites with the remaining powdered sugar and add half of this mixture to the batter. Add flour, almonds, baking powder, orange juice and remaining egg whites.

Bake in a round cake pan for 50 minutes at 350 degrees. For frosting, heat the remaining chocolate, cream and liqueur, beat well and freeze for 2 hours.

Split the cake in half. Spread 1/3 of the frosting on the bottom layer. Cover with top layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake.
