Ingredients:
300g dark chocolate (use good quality ideally with 50%cocoa solids) 200g sugar 6 large eggs 125g margarine (or butter) 100g ground almonds (or other nuts) Grease a 9inch springform pan. Or if you don't own one use a cake tin of equivalent volume (8inch square tin, or a 9*13 disposable pan). Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
Preparation Instruction:
Melt the chocolate and margarine. Beat the egg whites together with 1/2 the sugar until stiff. Beat the remaining sugar with the egg yolks until pale and thick. Beat in the warm chocolate mixture and ground almonds. Stir 1/4 of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, and then gently fold in the remainder. Bake for 30-40 minutes until slightly puffed in the center. Don't over cook – this cake is better slightly underdone rather than over done. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
B'teiyavon!
