Ingredients

Fiona Cairnsâ Family Chocolate Cake
Very closely adapted from Bake and Decorate (instructions are mine but ingredients are all hers, with exception of chocolate in icing)
Cake:
3 1/2 oz 50-60% cacao semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
6 T boiling water
1 1/3 cups AP flour
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1 cup almond flour
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar
1 t vanilla
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup buttermilk
Icing
3 oz semisweet 50-60% cacao chocolate (can use up to 72% cacao if you prefer), chopped
3 T unsalted butter

2 T packed brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
