🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is a healthier fat alternative.

Start with soft butter and mix it until creamy.

Add sugar and mix a little more.

Add an egg, almond extract, and a pinch of salt, then sour cream and mix again.

Scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is mixed well.

Add dry ingredients: almond flour and all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed to avoid flour flying everywhere.

Once mixed, set aside three spoons of dough for decoration and refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes.

Flatten the remaining dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about half an hour.

Prepare the baking pan by spraying it and lining it with parchment paper, then spray the parchment paper as well.

Spread the main dough evenly into the baking pan.

Pipe the reserved dough on top for decoration.

Freeze the decorated dough for an hour before baking to prevent melting.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake for 20 minutes.

Allow the cake to cool completely for at least 2 hours before removing it from the pan.

Prepare the chocolate glaze by melting chocolate chips, heavy cream, butter, and corn syrup on low heat until smooth.

Pour the chocolate glaze over the cooled cake and spread it evenly.

Top with almonds and let it sit, ideally overnight, before serving.
