Flourless chocolate and almond cake
Makes: 24cm round cake
200g good quality dark chocolate, melted
200g unsalted butter, melted
200g caster sugar
200g ground almonds
6 eggs, separated
Preheat oven to 170C and line cake tin with baking paper and set aside. In a clean bowl whisk together melted dark chocolate and butter. Once combined whisk in sugar followed by almond meal. Add egg yolks and whisk together until combined. In a separate clean bowl, using electric beaters, beat eggwhites until stiff peaks form. Using a spatula gently fold eggwhites into chocolate cake mix, trying to keep as much air in the mix as possible. Pour mix into cake tin and pop into oven for 1 hour. Allow to cool before serving.
