Preparation Steps
1
Melt the dark chocolate and butter over a double boiler or in the microwave. Let it cool slightly.
2
In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3
In another bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4
Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the egg mixture, and gently combine.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients, then pour in the milk to create a smooth batter.
6
Preheat the grill to medium heat (about 350°F/180°C). Prepare a BBQ baking sheet with parchment paper or a heat-resistant baking dish.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the top with sliced almonds.
8
Place the dish on the grill and bake covered for 20-25 minutes, or until the sponge cake is set and golden brown.
9
Check with a toothpick: if it comes out clean, it's done.
10
Let it cool for 10 minutes, then slice and serve, garnished with fresh fruit or extra chocolate sauce, if desired.
