Almond Sponge Cake with Silky Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients
- 1½ cups almond flour
- ¾ cup matzo meal
- 1½ tsp kosher salt
- 8 large eggs, separated
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp almond extract
- Silky Chocolate Mousse (Recipe follows)
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a (12- x 17-inch) jellyroll pan with cooking spray; line with parchment paper, and spray again.
- Stir together almond flour, matzo meal, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat egg yolks and sugars at medium-high speed with an electric mixer in a large bowl until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
- Add almond flour mixture, beating to combine; stir in almond extract.
- Beat egg whites in a clean large bowl at medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Stir one-third of beaten egg whites into egg yolk mixture to lighten. Gently fold remaining egg whites into egg yolk mixture. Spoon into prepared pan, smoothing top with a spatula.
- Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until top of cake springs back lightly when touched and edges are golden brown. Cool completely in pan.
- Invert cooled cake onto a cutting board; gently peel off parchment.
- Cut cake into three (9-x 5-inch) rectangles. Place one layer of cake in bottom of a 9-x 5-inch loaf pan lined with plastic wrap; spread about ¼ cup Silky Chocolate Mousse over cake. Top with a second cake rectangle, mousse, and remaining cake rectangle.
- Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill at least 4 hours.
- Invert cake onto a platter and gently peel of plastic wrap; sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Cut into slices to serve.
