Torta al caffe' Passalacqua

Today at the restaurant I was lacking inspiration so I let the boys! (Dario and Turi) decide what cake to make. They said they fancied something with coffe and almonds. So I complied!

What you need is:
A cake or bread tin 28x15cm(or equivalent)buttered and floured
200gr. soft butter(or try it with 100gr butter and 100gr. fruity olive oil)
150gr. soft brown sugar
3 eggs, lightly beaten
125gr. self-raising flour, sifted with
1tsp. baking powder
125gr. ground almonds
3 strong espresso coffee or equiv. of instant coffee(if you really must!)
1tbsp. coffee grounds
50gr. 70% dark choccolate, chopped

In a big bowl mix the butter with the sugar until light and creamy.
Add the eggs a bit at the time and keep mixing.
Add the sifted flour and baking powder.
You can add now the almond grounds and the chopped choccolate.
Give it a final mix. Pour in the tin and bake on the middle shelf for 40/45min.
Have a go at it it's really easy and absolutely delicious!

Ps. 'Passalacqua'coffee is probably the best coffee in the world. Once you try it you won't drink anything else! Trust me I'm Italian!!!!!!!!!
