Easy Warm Chocolate Tart Recipe

This dessert is ideal for chilly Autumn or Winter months but is sure to be as popular all year round because it contains two of the most desirable dessert components- ice cream and chocolate! The recipe does not contain any baking powder because it is a fairly flat cake but has some depth to it as a result of the eggs. I prefer using almond powder-alternatively you can crush whole almonds in a coffee grinder to make almond powder or use cake flour instead.
