Ingredients

For the Cake:
• 1 1/2 C bittersweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 C (1stick) butter, plus extra for the baking dish
• 3/4 C sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 C all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
For the Almond Topping:
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 C sliced almonds
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp light brown sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 13 X 9-inch baking dish with butter and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and the salt.
2. In a heat-proof bowl placed over a pan of simmering water, combine the butter and chocolate. Stir until almost melted, then remove from the heat. Whisk in the sugar. Whisk in the eggs one at a time.
3. Gradually whisk in the flour mixture, just until blended. Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish.
4. In a small bowl, combine the almonds, salt, olive oil, and brown sugar. Mix until well-combined, and sprinkle over the top of the cake batter. Bake for 25-30 minutes, but be careful not to overbake. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
