    Step #5:

    Bake for 25 minutes or until a instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the cake reads 200F.

    Step #6:

    Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-20 minutes and then loosen and tip out onto a cake plate to finish cooling.

    Step #7:

    To make the glaze, melt chocolate together with heavy whipping cream in a saucepan on low heat. Stir until chocolate ganache is smooth. Set aside and allow the chocolate ganache to come to room temperature, and/or thicken to the desired consistency for pouring over the cake. You don't want it to pour over the sides, which it will do if it is too thin.

    Step #8:

    Add a mixture of berries and slivered almonds to the top of the cake.
