  2. Break chocolate into bits, put into blender or food processor, with almonds, this will be very noisy.

  6. Quickly fold dates, chocolate and nuts into egg whites, spoon mixture into tin and bake for 45 (8 inches) 50 mins (10 inches) in middle of oven - top should have a solid but not rock hard crust.
  7. Turn oven off, leave cake in there for about an hour with door slightly open to cool.
  8. Turn cake out; put in very cool place or in fridge overnight (best made the night before, or at least quite few hours before).
