  4. Place the amaretti biscuits, almonds, sugar and orange zest in a food processor, then whizz until the biscuits and almonds are almost finely ground .(not too fine).
  5. Add the butter and eggs, whizz until blended, then add the melted chocolate and briefly whizz again until well combined.
  6. Pour into the prepared tin and pop straight in the oven.
  7. Cook for 35-45 minutes until the cake is puffed and slightly cracked around the edges.( test with a skewer after 35 minutes, it should come out clean)

  9. The top is quite crisp, and cracks easily, dust it with lots of icing sugar or cocoa powder before serving, to hide any imperfections.
