Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Grease the base an 8-9inch diameter springform cake tin, and line with greaseproof or baking paper.
- Melt the butter and chocolate in a double boiler. Stir every so often and set aside to cool when there are no lumps.
- Separate the eggs into two different bowls (put the yolks into a larger bowl).
- Beat the yolks, then add the caster sugar. Beat until pale, thick and creamy.
- Add the almonds, and mix to combine well (ensure that there are no lumps of ground almonds).
- Add the chocolate mixture and stir until well combined.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold into the chocolate almond mixture until well combined.
- Pour into the prepared cake tin and bake for 40-50 minutes. Make sure the top does not burn, when a skewer is inserted there will still be some mixture attached to it, but it will be soft as opposed to uncooked (sorry, this bit is hard to explain).
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin.
- When cool, remove from the tin. You will need to run a knife around the edges. Put on a plate after having removed the baking paper on the base.
- Melt the remaining chocolate until there are no lumps (normally 2 or 3 squares go missing along the way!), and pour in stages over the cake until the chocolate is evenly spread down the sides and over the top.
- This is very rich but is nice served with orange sorbet to cut through the richness.
