Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and cook, stirring once, until toasted, about 10 minutes and set aside.
- Lay a silicone baking mat on a rimmed baking sheet (or line the pan with aluminum foil and lightly butter). Spread the butter on the underside of a large offset metal spatula. Whisk the cocoa and baking soda together in a small bowl.
- Put the sugar, corn syrup and 3/4 cup water in a deep medium saucepan and attach a candy thermometer to the side. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently with a wooden spoon, just until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to high and boil the mixture until it reaches 310 degrees F or hard-crack stage.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully whisk in the cocoa mixture until combined. Stir in the toasted nuts with a wooden spoon. Working quickly, pour the hot brittle onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it as thin as possible with the buttered spatula. Cool for 5 minutes, then loosen the brittle from the pan with the spatula. Cool completely and then break into pieces. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Thoroughly brush a 1.5 litre bundt tin with melted butter.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in the almond extract.
- Mix together the baking powder, flour and ground almonds. Beat in one egg at a time, adding a spoonful of the flour mixture in between. Repeat until all three eggs have been added, then fold in the remaining flour mixture and stir in the milk.
- Spoon half of the cake batter into a separate bowl and mix in the cocoa paste. Add the chocolate chips to the other half of the mixture. Add spoonfuls of each of the batters alternately to the tin and drag the handle of a teaspoon through the mixture to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for around 40 minutes and then test the cake to see if a skewer inserted into the deepest part comes out clean. The cake will take 40 - 50 mins, depending on the proportions of your bundt tin.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Once cooled, dust the cake with a little icing sugar.

CHOCOLATE ALMOND BRITTLE
Here in Kern County, there are thousands of acres of almond orchards. I like to experiment with recipes—always trying to come up with something new. This candy is the result of altering, adding and a lot of taste testing (somebody had to do it!). I think it turned out rather well. —Pat Parsons, Bakersfield, California

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and line the base of a 20cm springform tin with baking parchment. Melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of just-simmering water, or in the microwave in 20-second bursts. Stir, then leave to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, tip the eggs and sugar into a second bowl and beat with an electric whisk for 4-5 mins, or until thick and creamy. Add the mascarpone or soft cheese and vanilla, and continue to beat until everything is combined. Lightly fold in the cooled melted chocolate mixture until everything is one even colour, then fold in the almonds. Sift over the cocoa powder and a small pinch of salt, and fold in to combine.
- Scrape the cake batter into the prepared tin. Put the tin on a baking tray and bake for 35-40 mins until the cake is puffed up and has cracked on top. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 30-40 mins - it will deflate as it cools. Serve warm as a chocolate pudding, or leave to cool completely and enjoy as a fudgy brownie cake. Dust with extra cocoa powder before serving.

Steps:
- Make the ganache: Place 2 ounces chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Pour cream into a small saucepan, and heat until bubbles appear around the edge. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate, let stand several minutes, and whisk until smooth. Pour the ganache into 6 squares of a plastic ice-cube tray. Freeze until solid.
- Butter and flour six 6-ounce ramekins, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, taping out the excess flour; set aside.
- Melt butter and the remaining 12 ounces chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the egg yolks, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and the vanilla. Beat until thick and pale yellow, about 5 minutes. Add the chocolate-butter mixture, and thoroughly combine. Fold in the ground almonds.
- In a clean mixer bowl fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on low speed until frothy, 2 to 3 minutes, then on medium-low until the whites are foamy and begin to thicken, just before soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and beat until stiff peaks form. Stir one-third of the egg whites into the egg yolk-chocolate mixture to lighten it. Fold the remaining egg whites into the mixture. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the batter into each ramekin. Removed the frozen ganache cubes from the freezer. (You may need to dip the bottom of the tray in hot water to get them out.) Place a cube in the center of each ramekin. Spoon the remaining batter into the ramekins, being careful to keep the ganache cubes in the center, and cover them completely. Freeze the filled ramekins until solid, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with the rack in the center. Take the baking sheet from the freezer. Wrap any cakes to be saved, and replace in the freezer; leave the rest on the sheet. Bake until the batter has set, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the sheet to a wire rack to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. To unmold, cover one hand with a clean kitchen towel, and invert the cake into hand, removing ramekin, then invert again onto a serving plate, and dust with confectioners' sugar, if using. Serve hot.
