Description

Think of these elegant chocolate cake bars as a cocoa-forward cousin of Italian rainbow cookies. The three layers of thin, almond-scented cake are sandwiched with jam (you pick the flavor!), then weighed down overnight, during which time their texture transforms, creating a soft, rich confection that's somewhere between a bar cookie and cake. Because the almond paste and jam keep them moist, these chocolate cake bars are ideal for baking ahead.
