    Fair play

  4. I've never used coffee liqueur before. Would I find that in the baking aisle? Looking forward to making this for my Valentine! 😊

  5. This weekend I made this 'Torta Caprese' a keto version with monk fruit sweetner, and boy oh boy, I have to tell you, it's already half gone in one day. The recipe couldn't have satisfied a chocoholic any better. So easy to make too. Thanks Chef John!

  6. Awesome! Why not use cocoa powder on your parchment? I always hate that white powder on the bottom of a chocolate cake.

  7. How many grams is 10 tablespoons of butter? Please use metric measurements jesus

    Nvm. I did the math on all the ingredients…I could be halfway done with baking by this point.

  8. My OCD just won't let me cut into such a Beautifully Symmetrical Cake. Guess I'm loosin a few carb's Today !

  9. Chef John! Making this this afternoon. The beating of the eggs took at least 20 minutes and started it while the chocolate and butter were melting. Prep time here in my kitchen was about double the written directions. Am sure we will love it like all your recipes but heads-up to those who take the time directions to heart.

  10. I just put this cooled cake in the fridge to surprise my (chocolate) lover tonight. Chef John, no one in this world has helped me become a better, more competent cook and baker than you. I don’t know you, but you are a part of my daily life and I love you like a brother. I hope that you and Michelle have a wonderful Valentine’s. Enjoy!🎉

  11. I made this yesterday for my partner and I to have for Valentine's Day dessert. It was excellent. I'm not big on changing recipes but I didn't have any chocolate liqueur, so I subbed 2 teaspoons espresso powder and 1 teaspoon vanilla. As for the topping, I covered it with a chocolate miroir glaze. Not exactly cake to try it on but it was impressive, if not perfect. Raspberries and vanilla ice cream and the food coma is complete. Thanks for a great recipe.

  12. I made this and opted for a chocolate ganache rather than the powdered cocoa and sugar topping. It was so delish. My almond flour was more of a meal and should have been finer so I will pulse it next time. I think it will produce a silkier consistency. I decided not to put a 'heart on' my cake and made a coulis instead. 🤭

  13. This is VERY close to your chocolate decadence recipe. Just the coffee liquor and almond meal are different I think.

  14. LMAO Chef John…No wonder we love you so much!!! A man with a fun sense of humor❣

  15. Made this tonight for a dinner party and it was a huge hit! I got a jar of organic pitted dark red Marachino cherries and used those instead of raspberries, and used the juice in the jar to make a thickened cherry sauce. Also used chili flavored dark chocolate bars to melt. All this and whipped cream …. one of the best desserts of my life. Thank you Chef John!

  16. Just tried a slice of gluten free chocolate cake from a local bakery. It's so good. Hope chef John's method is easy enough to do at home
