How to prepare Chocolate slices with almond aroma
To prepare the chocolate slices with almond aroma, start by pouring the butter and half of the sugar from the total amount into a stand mixer 1 and let it mix for a few minutes. Then separate the egg whites from the yolks, and add the yolks to the butter and sugar 2, keeping the beaters running until you get a soft and creamy consistency 3.
Meanwhile, break the chocolate 4 and melt it in a bain-marie, or in the microwave if you prefer, and as soon as it is melted, add it to the previous mixture 5. Separately, whip the egg whites adding the other half of the sugar 6.
In the yolk and butter batter, also add the bitter almond essence 7 and mix, then add the whipped egg whites 8, folding them gently from bottom to top 9.
Then add the flour 10, folding this in very delicately 11 and always from bottom to top. Lightly butter 12 a baking tray of 10.6x14.2 inches,
place parchment paper on it and pour the mixture 13; level carefully with a spatula 14 and then bake in a preheated oven for about 25 minutes at 356°F 15; check with a toothpick and if necessary, extend the baking time by a few minutes.
Allow to cool and then unmold onto a cutting board and cut vertically and then horizontally 16 thus obtaining small squares of about 2 inches per side 17. Arrange on a serving plate and then serve the chocolate slices with almond aroma.
