ALMOND ROCA CAKE
6 eggs plus 2 egg yolks
1/4 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar, tightly packed
1/2 c. ground toasted almonds
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tbs. unsalted butter, melted and lightly browned
Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and flour a 9 inch tube or bundt pan. Place eggs, yolks, and sugars in the metal bowl of an electric mixer. Place bowl over low heat and stir the eggs with your hand until the mixture becomes warm and you can feel that the sugar crystals have dissolved. (If your mixer does not have a metal bowl, use a glass one and place it over hot water). Place bowl on machine and beat for 10 minutes at medium speed. The eggs should be very thick and form a heavy ribbon. Add the almonds, vanilla and almond extracts, and zest to the eggs, and beat briefly. By hand, fold in the flour and salt in 3 portions. Work rapidly and gently so as not to deflate the egg volume. Drizzle on the browned butter and fold it in. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, place pan on a cookie sheet, and put cake in the oven. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the cake shrinks slightly from the side of the pan and a cake tester comes out clean when inserted at a central point. Let cool for 10 minutes, then unmold cake onto a rack. Let cool completely. To prepare the syrup, bring the sugar and water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Let simmer 3 minutes, then remove from the heat and cool briefly. Stir in Amaretto. Make glaze. Immediately pour it over the top of the cake. Slice the cake in half horizontally through the center and drizzle the hot syrup over the cut sides. Let cool, then spread on chocolate glaze. Reform cake and smooth it on in a rough fashion, then press the broken portions of toffee over the surface. Let the glaze cool and harden. Serve with whipped cream.
SYRUP:
1/3 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. water
Amaretto to taste (at least 2 tbs)
1 recipe thick chocolate glaze
16 to 20 oz. Almond Roca broken into small bits, some as large as 1" square whipped cream
THICK CHOCOLATE GLAZE:
4 oz. semisweet chocolate chips or grated squares
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. light corn syrup
5 tbs. unsalted butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
4 to 5 tbs. confectioners sugar
Prepare glaze by putting chocolate, sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan, then cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Let the mixture cook at a slow boil for 3 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the butter 1 tb. at a time, then add the vanilla and confectioners sugar. Stir until the glaze cools slightly and is a nice spreading consistency.

Almond roca Recipe
2 c (1 pound) butter
2 c Sugar
1/2 c Whole almonds
1 lg Package chocolate chips
1/2 c Walnuts ground in a blender
Melt butter over high heat. Add sugar, stirring until it foams up
well. Continue over high heat, adding almonds. Continue to cook,
stirring continually until mixture is color of mahogany and sugar is
all melted. (Take it off the heat for a moment if it starts to smoke.)
Stir as you take it off the heat permanently and pour quickly onto
your biggest flat pan with sides. Tilt to spread evenly. After 5
minutes, pour on chocolate chips. When they have melted a bit, spread
them over the top of the hot mixture with a rubber scraper. Scatter
ground walnuts over the top, shaking to distribute evenly.
Candy is thoroughly cooled when the chocolate is dull looking. (Cool
at least three hours at room temperature.) Break into pieces and it's
ready to eat.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU52C
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
