Amaretto Walnut Chocolate Cake
This is a spin-off of a flourless walnut cake popular in Bulgaria called “Garash”. The layers are made of merengue and ground walnuts. This version has almonds and walnuts. The chocolate cream is made with Trader Joe’s almond cocoa butter, instead of the Nutella used in the recipe I found, plus a mighty splash of Amaretto. It is the cake I made for myself for my birthday yesterday. In the background is a greeting card from the top boss of my agency… I guess this is a new practice. Special thanks to the nameless report writer who created and scheduled the daily or weekly report with employee birthdays for HR. Lol….

This is not the exact recipe I followed (that one I am too lazy to translate), but this here is the classic Garash recipe with lots of pics, so it should help if you decide to experiment:
