directions

  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
  • Grease a deep 8 inch springform cake tin, then line the base with greaseproof paper and grease the paper.
  • Place 1/2 a cup of the butter and all the sugar in a mixing bowl and beat until light and fluffy.
  • Add two-thirds of the dark chocolate, the ground almonds and the egg yolks and beat until they are evenly blended.
  • Whisk the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until stiff.
  • Fold them into the chocolate mixture, then transfer to the prepared tin and smooth the surface.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  • Leave the cake in the tin for about 5 minutes, then turn out on a wire rack, peel off the lining paper and leave to cool completely.
  • Place remaining butter and remaining melted dark chocolate in a saucepan.
  • Heat very gently, stirring constantly, until melted.
  • Pour over the cake, allowing the topping to coat the sides.
  • Leave to set for at least an hour.
  • To decorate, fill a piping bag with the white melted chocolate and snip the end.
  • Drizzle all around the edges to make a squiggly double border.
