For my DH I chose to make this without him so that this way he would not miss cake. I had fun experimenting with it also. Ingredients:
12 ounces semisweet chocolate |
1/3 cup butter |
1/3 cup milk |
1/3 cup finely chopped almonds |
7/8 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
4 eggs, separated |
Directions:
1. Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees.
2. Grease a 9 inch cake tin.
3. Break Chocolate into small pieces and melt it with butter and milk over water.
4. Beat the egg yolks and half the sugar.
5. Fold in melted butter and chocolate mixture.
6. Fold in ground almonds and baking powder.
7. Beat egg whites until frothy by using an electric mixer; gradually add the remaining sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
8. Fold in the beated egg whites.
9. Bake at 350 degrees until wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, Approximately 40 minutes. Please note that cakes of this type will collapse and look like a pie.
