It’s a flourless chocolate cake that still remains a closely-guarded secret recipe, over 100 years after its creation. Although that hasn’t stopped an abundance of copycat recipes by home bakers and professional chefs (and now, us). In 1886, legend has it, baker Eugenio Gollini sought to achieve the perfect chocolate cake, which is still served at his namesake Pasticceria Gollini in the medieval town of Vignola, Italy. Gollini’s revelation was using ground peanuts, in place of wheat flour, which produced an extra moist, flavorful crumb. We love the romance, but we also love it for practical purposes. It’s as chocolatey as a flourless chocolate cake, but with a lighter crumb from whipped egg whites, which delivers a structure that’s somehow rich and dense yet remarkably light. (And less prone to overbake.) We found that almond flour alone works just as well as peanuts for flavor and tenderness.
