  • Melt the chocolate with the butter and let it cool slightly. Add the salt, butter, and egg yolks one at a time. Beat the egg whites with the sugar until they reach meringue consistency. Fold in the meringue with the almond flour alternately. Pour the mixture into a mold and bake at 180°C until, when pressed with your fingers, it springs back to its fluffy shape.
  • For the filling: heat the heavy cream. Place the egg yolks with the sugar in a double boiler and whisk until a homogeneous mixture is achieved, then incorporate the chocolate. For the glaze: make a ganache with 150 grams of chocolate and 150 grams of cream. Let it rest until a shiny glaze is obtained.
  • For the macarons: beat the egg whites with the tablespoon of sugar until a meringue is achieved. Sift 150 grams of powdered sugar with 80 grams of almond flour, mix this with the meringue, and using a piping bag, place small balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (they will spread while baking) and bake at 180°C until ready.
  • Cut the cake in half and add the chocolate filling.
  • Glaze with the chocolate glaze and let it cool slightly.
  • Attach the macarons to the sides of the cake.
